I am currently working with a well-established and highly respected commercial law firm in Liverpool that is looking to appoint an experienced Commercial Property Partner to join its Property & Construction team.

This represents an excellent opportunity for an established Commercial Property Partner, or a Senior Associate/Legal Director ready to step up, who can bring a strong network of contacts and is keen to play a key role in the continued growth and development of a successful practice.

The team acts on a wide variety of high-quality matters and has built a strong reputation through longstanding client relationships and repeat instructions.

The successful candidate will enjoy a high degree of autonomy and will be encouraged to play an active role in business development and expanding the firm's presence across existing and emerging markets.

• Advising on utility easements, Section 106 Agreements, SDLT considerations and Land Registry matters.
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and professional referrers.
• Driving business development initiatives and identifying opportunities for further growth.
• Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers within the team.
• Delivering practical, commercially focused advice and exceptional client service.
