Job Description
If you’ve ever looked at the Newcastle legal market and thought, “I could build something properly good there”, this is probably the conversation to have.nnn I’m working with a leading regional law firm that is looking for a senior Commercial Property lawyer to take real ownership of its Newcastle Real Estate offering.nnn This is not a “come in and somehow create a department from scratch” role.nnn There is already work.nnn There is already a substantial Real Estate team behind you.nnn There is already the infrastructure, reputation and support you need.nnn What they want now is someone senior enough to take the Newcastle market by the scruff of the neck and make it their own.nnn The wider Real Estate team is more than 30 people strong and is already one of the firm’s biggest success stories. You would have access to that technical strength and resourcing, but with genuine autonomy to develop the Newcastle presence.nnn They are open minded on level.nnn You might already be a Partner.nnn You might be a Legal Director who wants more ownership.nnn You might be a Senior Associate who has reached the point where you’re thinking, “I’m ready for more than another title change and another couple of years waiting.”nnn What matters is that you’re credible in the commercial property market, you enjoy building relationships and you have the appetite to help grow something.nnn There is an existing stream of work to build from, so nobody is expecting you to arrive carrying a £500k following under your arm.nnn Equally, this is not a role for someone who simply wants to inherit a caseload and disappear into it.nnn The opportunity is in shaping the team, developing the client base and becoming a genuine senior figure in the North East market.nnn For the right person, that could mean a very significant career move.nnn If you’re a senior Commercial Property lawyer in Newcastle, or you’re considering returning to the North East and this sounds like the sort of platform you’ve been waiting for, speak to Neil Campbell at QED Legal in confidence.
