Gleeson Recruitment Group • Permanent • Remote (Birmingham, West Midlands, England, United Kingdom) • 15h ago

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
