Job description

Head of Commercial Property

Midlands | Competitive Salary + Hybrid Working + Excellent Benefits

Are you an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor ready to take the next step into a leadership role, or an established Head of Department looking for a fresh challenge with genuine autonomy?

I'm working with a highly regarded Midlands law firm that is looking to appoint a Head of Commercial Property to lead its well-established and successful team. This is a rare opportunity to inherit an existing client base, work alongside experienced legal professionals, and play a pivotal role in the continued growth of the department.

The firm has built an outstanding reputation for delivering practical, commercial advice while maintaining long-standing client relationships across the region. You'll be joining a collaborative, supportive culture where quality of service and client care are genuinely at the heart of everything they do.

The Opportunity

As Head of Commercial Property, you'll lead a respected department with responsibility for both fee earning and the strategic direction of the team. You'll enjoy a broad and high-quality caseload while mentoring and developing colleagues, helping to drive the department forward.

Your work will include:

  • Acquisitions and disposals of commercial property
  • Landlord and tenant matters, including leases and renewals
  • Development and regeneration projects
  • Property finance and refinancing transactions
  • Portfolio management for a diverse client base
  • Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers and support staff
  • Supporting business development and strengthening existing client relationships
  • Contributing to the strategic growth and success of the department

About You

You'll be a commercially minded Commercial Property Solicitor with strong technical expertise and proven experience managing complex transactions. Previous leadership or supervisory experience would be advantageous, although ambitious Senior Associates or Partners looking to step into a Head of Department role are also encouraged to apply.

You'll ideally have:

  • Significant experience in Commercial Property law
  • Strong client relationship management and business development skills
  • The ability to lead, mentor and inspire a team
  • A commercial, pragmatic approach to delivering legal advice
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills

What's on Offer?

  • A genuine Head of Department opportunity with autonomy to shape the team
  • A well-established department with an existing and loyal client base
  • High-quality commercial property work across a varied client portfolio
  • A supportive and collaborative working environment
  • Clear opportunities to influence the future direction of the practice
  • Competitive salary, bonus and comprehensive benefits package
  • Flexible and hybrid working options

If you're interested in exploring a confidential conversation about this opportunity, I'd be delighted to discuss the role in more detail. Whether you're actively looking or simply curious about what's available in the Midlands market, feel free to get in touch for a discreet conversation.
