Commercial Property Solicitor - Autonomy, Progression & Real Local Impact

Commercial Property Solicitor - Autonomy, Progression & Real Local Impact

Location: Barnsley & Penistone (flexible multi site working)

Are you a Commercial Property Solicitor looking for something a bit more hands on, where you can genuinely make your mark?

I'm working with a well regarded, growing firm that's known for delivering high quality legal services to local businesses and individuals. Due to continued growth and success in the local area, they're now looking to bring in a Commercial Property Solicitor to strengthen the team.

This is a great opportunity if you're looking to take ownership of your work, build strong relationships in the local market, and play a key role in developing a commercial property offering.

The role

You'll be managing your own varied caseload, including:

• Freehold and leasehold acquisitions and disposals
• Acting for both landlords and tenants on commercial leases
• Lease renewals and variations
• Development work
• Option agreements and overage
• Secured lending and property finance
• Portfolio management

You'll have the autonomy to run files from start to finish, with support from colleagues when needed - but without unnecessary micromanagement.

What they're looking for

• Qualified Solicitor (open on PQE - it's more about the right person)
• Commercially aware with a pragmatic approach
• Strong client relationship skills
• Experience working with SMEs, developers or lenders would be a bonus

Why consider this?

This firm offers a really nice balance - plenty of autonomy, but still a supportive environment where you're not left on your own.

You'll also get the chance to:

• Build your profile in the local market
• Work closely with agents, brokers and other professionals
• Get involved in networking and business development
• Play a part in shaping the future of the commercial property team
• Progress into something more senior as the team grows

The package

• Flexible working across Barnsley and Penistone offices (free parking at Penistone, and local affordable in Barnsley)
• Competitive salary depending on experience
• 28 days holiday (increasing with length of service)
• Entire Christmas off + no need to take out of annual leave allowance

This is a firm that's at a really exciting period of organic growth with a lot of scope to be able to make this role what you need out of it so if you're looking for a role where you can step up, have more ownership, and be part of a genuinely growing team, it's definitely worth a conversation.
