Commercial Property Partner

Commercial Property Partner | Dorking

Some commercial property lawyers reach a point where they realise they have done the technical hard yards but are still waiting for the thing that actually moves a career forward: genuine client relationships, a visible local profile, the trust of introducers. Not because they are not ready. Because the platform has not asked them to step up.

A well-established, full-service firm with a strong South East presence is opening its Dorking office to a new Commercial Property Partner. The partner leading the property team wants someone who is not just a safe pair of hands on a file, but a visible presence in the local market. That means from week one, you are not tucked away drafting. You are out at events, meeting developers and agents, building the practice alongside them.

The Role

• Run a varied commercial property caseload: acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant, development agreements, options and overage, investment work

• Work directly alongside the existing property partner on BD, attending local events, building relationships with introducers, raising your own profile in the Dorking market

• Leverage the firm's existing reputation while building a network that is yours

• Play a key role in supporting and mentoring junior team members as the office grows

What You Bring

• 10+ years' PQE in commercial property, with solid technical foundations and a natural, client-facing manner

• A collaborative, personable style, the kind of lawyer a partner wants beside them when meeting a new contact

The Firm

• Long-established but forward-looking, with a relationship-led, client-care focused culture

• Commercial property is a core strength and a genuine driver of the firm's work

• A medium-sized firm where you are visible, valued, and supported, not lost in a machine

Why This Makes Sense
You have the experience and the judgement. What you may be missing is the chance to convert that into real market presence.

This role gives you that chance, a new office, a partner who wants you out there alongside them, and a firm that backs property as a priority. You are not just transacting. You are building relationships that will shape the next decade of your career.
