Property Solicitor – Commercial & Residential
Oxford | Office-Based | Competitive Salary DOE
I’m currently working with a well-established and highly regarded law firm in Oxford that is looking to strengthen its busy Property team.
They are open to speaking with Commercial Property Solicitors and Residential Property Solicitors, with the flexibility to consider candidates who want to focus purely on their chosen area of property.
There is also scope for someone who enjoys a mixed Commercial & Residential caseload, with the emphasis on Commercial Property.

Residential Property Solicitors will have the opportunity to focus on a residential property caseload, with the team open to candidates who want to develop their career specifically within Residential Property.
For candidates who enjoy variety, there is also the option to work across both Commercial and Residential Property.
The Role
Alongside fee earning, you will have the opportunity to:
- Develop and maintain strong client and referrer relationships
- Contribute to business development and networking
