In‑house Property Lawyer – 12-month Mat Cover
Holborn, London | Hybrid working
We are looking to appoint an In‑house Property Lawyer to join an established legal team, supporting the business across its national property portfolio.
This is a tenant‑side / occupier‑focused role, ideal for a commercial property solicitor who enjoys working closely with the business, providing pragmatic advice and enabling operational decisions rather than managing transactions at arm’s length.
The role
You’ll advise on a broad range of property matters, including:
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial leases, agreements for lease and licences
- Managing Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 renewals and terminations
- Advising on lease surrenders, dilapidations and exit strategies
- Negotiating tenant‑friendly lease provisions, including service‑charge protections
- Handling occupier‑side portfolio queries and coordinating relocations
- Instructing and managing external counsel where appropriate
- Working closely with internal estates, finance and senior stakeholders
About you
- Qualified solicitor in England & Wales
- Strong commercial landlord and tenant experience, ideally from an in‑house or occupier‑led background
- Comfortable operating with autonomy and exercising commercial judgement
- Able to translate legal risk into clear, practical advice for non‑legal stakeholders
- Experience within a complex organisation or portfolio environment is highly desirable
Worth noting
- Genuine in‑house advisory role, not a transactional churn
- Collaborative legal team with visibility across the business
- Central London location with hybrid working
- Opportunity to influence property strategy and operational decision‑making
Interested?
