The Commercial Property team has a strong reputation regionally and advises on all aspects, ranging from site development to transactions and property management.
About the role
Based from the Exeter office with hybrid working, you will play a key role in the Commercial Property team, supporting clients with general leasehold, sales, and acquisition matters. You will work closely to support the Corporate team with property aspects of M&A deals, including property restructuring, reorganisation, and warranty matters.

The firm has a real focus on setting achievable targets, in a culture that values wellbeing and healthy work-life balance. The firm prides itself on collaboration and a ‘low hierarchy’ environment where individuals are encouraged to develop and enhance their skills and experience over time.
You will be encouraged to engage in business development activities where you can promote your own profile with land agents and referrer contacts in the region along with that of the firm.
As part of this role, you will have the opportunity to supervise and support the development of less experienced members of the team, ensuring everyone has the skills and confidence to deliver an exceptional experience to clients every day.

Being resilient to work under pressure by organising yourself effectively, you will be able to meet deadlines as needed. You will possess proven rapport-building skills and you are tenacious, thorough, and attentive to detail, taking pride in the high standards of your work.
You will be looking to make your mark and build a successful career as well as supporting the development of others in the team.
