Commercial Property Fee Earner

Commercial Property Solicitor / CILEx / Fee Earner

Location: Cirencester / Cotswolds region (hybrid working)
Salary: Up to £70,000 DOE + bonus scheme

Why This Role Might Be Perfect for You:

Join a respected regional law firm in the Cotswolds that does really good commercial property work - from leases & acquisitions to development‐led transactions. You'll be working with high-quality, affluent clients (local business owners, developers, property investors) in a beautiful part of England, with scope for real responsibility and influence.

If you're ambitious, enjoy owning your cases from start to finish and want to continue growing as a property-specialist, this could be the role you've been waiting for.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Managing a full caseload of commercial property transactions.
• Running files end-to-end - from client onboarding, drafting / negotiating leases, liaising with third parties, through to billing & file-closure.
• Advising on a broad range of landlord & tenant matters (renewals / 1954 Act issues), lease renegotiations, easements and other commercial property legal issues.
• Working under the guidance of senior partners in the property / commercial property team - pulling in expertise from across the firm.

Who You Are:

• You have 2+ years fee earning experience.
• You're confident handling your own caseload, negotiating leases and acquisitions, and advising clients with minimal supervision.
• Excellent communicator with strong attention to detail, great client service skills and a "can-do" attitude.
• Experience with agricultural land is a plus.

What You Will Get:

• Up to £70,000 base depending on your experience
• Discretionary / performance-related bonus scheme
• Hybrid working - allowing you flexibility and work / life balance
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays + your birthday off
• Private health insurance and life / death-in-service benefit
• Long service awards and other recognition
• Free onsite parking (rare in town!)
• Opportunity to work with high-calibre, often affluent clients on sophisticated property matters - not just "everyday" property matters

Why It Is Different:

• It's hands-on. You'll own the work rather than being a junior cog.
• It's grounded in a beautiful part of England (Cotswolds / Cirencester), with real connection to the local business and property community.
• You'd be part of a firm with a reputation for quality, where people care about how legal advice is delivered and support your ongoing professional growth.
• Strong line of sight on progression: opportunity to deepen your specialism, take on increasing responsibility and grow professionally within the firm.
