Job Description:

This established firm combines a broad commercial practice with a working environment where partners are accessible and lawyers have direct involvement with clients.

Our conversations with the firm have highlighted its emphasis on work-life balance, realistic expectations and supporting people’s development. It offers the opportunity to build a specialist practice within a team where your contribution will be visible.

The role

You’ll advise lenders, borrowers, investors and developers on secured lending transactions involving commercial and residential property.

Your work will include title investigation and reporting, drafting and negotiating security documents, managing conditions precedent and taking transactions through to completion. You’ll work alongside colleagues in real estate and corporate, developing client relationships and contributing to the team’s continued growth.

About you

You’ll ideally have around five years’ PQE, although relevant experience and your ability to manage matters are more important than a precise qualification date.

You may already work in real estate finance or secured lending. Alternatively, you could have a strong commercial property background and want to develop a more focused finance practice.

You’ll need sound technical skills, a practical approach to transactions and the confidence to take responsibility while working collaboratively with colleagues.

A competitive salary and benefits package is available, alongside flexible and hybrid working options. The firm also offers bonus arrangements and wellbeing initiatives.

Thornton Legal works with commercial property and real estate finance lawyers across Manchester and the wider North West, advising on specialist moves, progression and opportunities that make sense for the individual.
