In House Commercial Property Counsel

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?
