A new opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Property Solicitor NQ-2PQE to join a growing Cardiff office of an established UK law firm.

This is an opportunity to work closely with a leading Cardiff partner and become part of the team from an early stage as the new office develops.

The role would suit a solicitor who has gained some experience in commercial property and is looking for the opportunity to work on good quality matters, develop their technical skills and learn directly from an experienced partner.

The role

You will work closely with the Cardiff partner on a broad range of commercial property matters for a varied client base.

  • The work is likely to include acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant matters, development work, investment transactions, property finance and general commercial property advice.
  • You will have the opportunity to be involved in matters from the initial instruction through to completion, with increasing responsibility as your experience develops.

The role is intended to provide proper exposure to commercial property rather than being limited to administrative support. You will work directly with senior lawyers, have client contact and gain experience across a range of transactions.

About you

You will be a qualified solicitor with some experience in commercial property. You may be newly qualified or have a couple of years' post qualification experience and be looking for a move that gives you greater exposure to good quality work and experienced lawyers. You should have a sound grounding in commercial property and be keen to continue developing your technical knowledge.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

We are looking for someone who is:

  • Commercially aware
  • Well organised and able to manage deadlines
  • Comfortable dealing with clients and other professionals
  • Detail focused without losing sight of the wider transaction
  • Keen to learn and take on responsibility
  • A good communicator
  • Comfortable working closely with a senior lawyer
  • Interested in developing a long term career in commercial property

You do not need to have extensive experience across every aspect of commercial property. The important thing is that you have a solid foundation and want to build on it.

The Cardiff office

The Cardiff office is a new development for the firm and provides an opportunity to join at an early stage.

  • You will work closely with a leading Cardiff partner rather than being one of a large number of junior lawyers within an established department.
  • That should provide a good level of exposure to the work, clients and decision making within the team.

For the right person, there is also scope to play a part in the development of the office as it grows.

The firm

The firm has an established reputation for handling quality legal work and has built its practice around strong technical expertise and long term client relationships. Its people are central to the business, with an emphasis on recruiting lawyers who want to develop their careers and become trusted advisers to their clients.

The Cardiff launch represents an opportunity to bring that approach into a new market while maintaining the standards and quality of work for which the wider practice is known.

Why consider it?

For a commercial property solicitor, the attraction is the combination of quality work, direct access to an experienced Cardiff partner and the opportunity to join a new office at an early stage. You will have the support of an established firm behind you while working in a relatively small local team.

There is also the opportunity to develop your own professional relationships as the Cardiff office grows, rather than joining an already established structure where progression and client exposure may be more limited.
