Landlord & Tenant Solicitor – Hybrid working NEW

We are looking for an experienced Landlord & Tenant Solicitor / Fee Earner to join a growing and ambitious property team.

This is a newly created opportunity arising from the continued growth of the firm. Over the past six years, the firm has expanded significantly, growing from around 10 people to a team of approximately 50, and this role forms part of the firm’s ongoing growth and development plans.

You will join an established team with existing expertise in Landlord & Tenant matters and lease extensions, taking a senior position with responsibility for managing and developing two existing Paralegals.

• Strong experience in Landlord & Tenant matters.
• Experience dealing with lease extensions.
• A good understanding of the wider commercial/property landscape.
• The confidence to deal directly with clients and manage your own caseload.
• Previous experience supervising, mentoring or supporting junior colleagues, or a clear desire to take that next step.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• A commercial and client-focused approach.
• The confidence to take ownership and make decisions whilst knowing when to seek advice.
• An interest in developing both your own career and the people around you.

What’s on Offer

• Excellent salary, reflecting experience and seniority.
• Flexible office location across the firm’s Sussex offices.
• Good hybrid working arrangements.
• Opportunity to manage and mentor an established junior team.
• Genuine involvement in the firm’s ongoing growth plans.
• Significant scope for career progression.
