In house Commercial Property Lawyer

In house commercial property lawyer - North East

I've been exclusively retained by a business whose operations are integral to the economic success of the North East region, to help them hire a commercially minded real estate lawyer. As a leading supply chain / logistics business, they employ 1400 people across multiple sites in the UK, and are headquartered firmly in the North East

With a well established multi disciplinary legal function, supporting on matters across the business, and are looking to bolster that team with the addition of a commercial property lawyer. This will be a very diverse role which would include the reviewing, drafting and negotiation of a wide range of property related documentation (e.g. leases, tenancy agreements, deeds of surrender, licences to occupy and any other property documents, easements, large infrastructure projects). The business is an interesting and complex one - you would work in collaboration with other experts to ensure property related projects are delivered in an efficient and timely manner, often operating at director/board level assisting and preparation of correspondence in response to challenging external questions.

You'll need to be an experienced solicitor or chartered legal executive, working in house or in a law firm, who has an excellent grounding in property law with a track record of handling complex and technical issues. Additionally, you'll need great drive and perseverance to problem solve, and be able to demonstrate strong communication, organisational, and motivational skills.

On offer is a great salary and benefits package, hybrid working, and the opportunity to be involved in some fairly unique legal work within the region. And with no time recording or client development work needed, you can focus fully on the interesting legal work. For more details please get in contact without delay
