A Leadership Opportunity. A Clear Future. A Firm Built Around Property Law.

What if your next move wasn't just another senior role, but the opportunity to step into a position with a genuine pathway to senior leadership?

We're partnering with a highly respected, traditional law firm in Sutton that has built its reputation around exceptional property law services. With a long-established client base and expertise spanning both residential and commercial property, the firm is now looking for a Senior Property Lawyer to join the team as part of a planned succession strategy.

With a Partner approaching retirement, this is a rare opportunity to join a successful practice where you'll be given the platform to grow into a senior leadership position while working alongside experienced colleagues during the transition.

If you're looking for a role that offers both high-quality work and a genuine long-term career opportunity, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

Why This Role Stands Out

Opportunities like this don't come around often.

Rather than simply filling a vacancy, the firm is investing in its future by identifying the next generation of leadership. You'll join a close-knit and highly regarded property team, benefiting from the experience of senior colleagues while positioning yourself for a significant role in the firm's future.

You'll benefit from:

• A genuine succession opportunity with a clear route into senior leadership
• A varied caseload covering both residential and commercial property matters
• Hybrid and flexible working that supports a healthy work-life balance
• A competitive bonus scheme that rewards your contribution
• The stability and reputation of a well-established firm with property law at the heart of its practice

The result? A role that offers the quality of work and career progression that many senior lawyers are searching for—but rarely find.

The Role

You'll handle a broad mix of residential and commercial property matters, advising a loyal client base on a wide range of transactions.

Working closely with the existing leadership team, you'll gradually take on increased responsibility as part of the firm's long-term succession plans. Alongside managing your own caseload, you'll play an important role in supporting the continued success and growth of the property department.

This is an ideal opportunity for a lawyer who enjoys high-quality client relationships and is ready to take the next step towards leadership. xwzovoh

• Confident managing your own caseload with a high level of autonomy

• Ambitious and motivated by the opportunity to progress into senior leadership
