Salary: £50,000 to £68,000
Location: Reading | Hybrid Working Available
Join a forward-thinking, well-respected regional firm in Reading with a thriving Commercial Property team known for delivering top-tier work, outstanding client service, and genuine career development. This is the perfect opportunity for a 1–4 PQE lawyer or legal executive ready to build a strong foundation in a major Thames Valley market.
�? Why This Firm Stands Out
*Reputable, Legal 500-recognised team: You’ll join a department praised for its technical strength, responsiveness, and commercial awareness.
*Real progression: Transparent pathways to Associate and Senior Associate, with tailored mentoring and direct partner exposure.
*Quality + variety: Act for SMEs, national brands, developers, landlords, and institutional clients across the Thames Valley and South East.
*Supportive, modern culture: Hybrid working, manageable caseloads, collaboration over competition, and tech-enabled workflows.
*A firm that invests in you: Business development support, CPD funding, specialist training, and opportunities to grow your own mini-practice.
?? The Role
You will manage a varied and increasingly sophisticated commercial property caseload, including:
*Freehold and leasehold acquisitions and disposals
*Drafting and negotiating commercial leases, agreements for lease, and ancillary documents

*Development land and housebuilding related matters (subject to your experience)
*Secured lending and property finance support
*Working with the Corporate team on property support for transactions
*Maintaining strong client relationships and supporting business development initiatives
You’ll have as much responsibility as your experience allows, with supportive supervision that helps you progress quickly.
?? About You
*1–4 years PQE, either as Solicitor, CILEX, or Licenced Conveyancer
*Solid exposure to commercial property work
*Strong drafting skills and the ability to communicate clearly with commercial clients
*Organised, proactive, and able to manage your own files with confidence
*A team player who enjoys collaborating and contributing to the department’s growth
*Interest in networking and developing client/referrer relationships
�? Package & Benefits
*£50,000 to £68,000 market-competitive salary (DOE)
*Hybrid working (typically 2–3 days from home)
*Pension + life assurance
*Private medical (often offered after probation)
*Enhanced annual leave, wellbeing initiatives, and bonus scheme
*Support for further qualifications, BD training, and mentorship
*Social events, community initiatives, and strong firm culture
