Commercial Property Solicitor
South Wales | 2+ PQE | Hybrid
Yolk Legal is working with an established and growing South Wales law firm that is looking to appoint a Commercial Property Solicitor with 2+ years' PQE.
This is an opportunity for a solicitor who wants more than just a transactional role. You'll join a developing commercial property team, work with a varied client base and have the opportunity to build relationships, take ownership of matters and develop your career.
The Role
You'll handle a broad range of commercial property work for a varied client base, including businesses, developers, investors, landlords, tenants, and corporate clients.
Your caseload will include:
- Commercial property acquisitions and disposals
- Freehold and leasehold transactions
- Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial leases
- Landlord and tenant matters
- Assignments, underlettings, renewals, licences, and variations
- Property development and investment work
- Property finance and security matters
- Easements, covenants, overage, and associated title work
You'll also have the opportunity to develop direct client relationships and contribute to the continued growth of the department.
About You
We're looking for a qualified solicitor with 2+ years' PQE in commercial property who is confident handling a varied caseload.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
You'll ideally have:
- Solid experience across commercial property transactions
- Good knowledge of commercial leases and freehold matters
- Strong drafting and negotiation skills
- A commercial and client-focused approach
- Confidence dealing directly with clients and professional advisers
- The ability to manage your own workload and competing deadlines
- A genuine interest in developing your career within commercial property
You don't need to be looking for partnership or management responsibility tomorrow - but you should be ambitious, proactive, and keen to make your mark within a growing team.
What's On Offer?
The successful candidate will benefit from:
- Hybrid / remote working arrangements
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Performance-based bonus scheme
- 25 days' annual leave plus Bank Holidays
- Your birthday off
- A varied commercial property caseload
- The opportunity to develop your own client relationships and referral network
- Career progression within a growing department
Why This Role?
This could suit a Commercial Property Solicitor who has built a solid foundation and is now looking for greater responsibility, broader exposure, and the chance to develop their own client profile.
