Commercial Property Solicitor

.Exciting Opportunity – Commercial Property Solicitor / Chartered Legal Executive

I’m currently recruiting for a fantastic opportunity with a well-established law firm in Chester. They’re looking for a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with over five years of post-qualification experience to join their highly regarded Commercial Property team.

Experience in agricultural property or property development work would be beneficial, but it is not essential. You’ll be working with a diverse client base, including landowners, developers, and funders – many of whom have been long-standing clients of the firm.
