Senior Real Estate Solicitor 3 years + PQE | Harrogate (Hybrid)
Build Something of Your Own, With Support Behind You
Are you a seasoned real estate solicitor who’s ready to step out of the shadows of a large firm and take full ownership of your work — without the politics or pressure?
This is your chance to join a long-established, well-regarded law firm in Harrogate that’s looking to bring its Real Estate offering in-house after many successful years working with a consultant. The firm has been a trusted presence in the region for over 30 years, with a steady pipeline of quality work and longstanding client relationships.
Now, they’re ready to make this a permanent and strategic part of the business — and you could be the one to lead it.

What You’ll Be Doing

Acting on commercial sales and purchases, LLT transactions, and other general commercial property matters
Working independently, with full support from the wider team and operational structure
Continuing the excellent client service built over decades — and having the freedom to grow the offering as you see fit
Helping shape the firm’s real estate future, your way

Why This Role?

Autonomy & Ownership – You’ll be the firm’s go-to real estate expert, trusted to lead and deliver
Work-Life Balance – Less stress, more purpose. A culture that respects your time and values your wellbeing
High-Quality Clients – Longstanding relationships with businesses that return time and time again
Room to Grow – The real estate work has been thriving without a full-time in-house lead — imagine what you could do with it
Progression Potential – With you driving this practice area, future leadership is on the table

What They’re Looking For

A senior real estate solicitor (likely 3+ PQE, but open to the right experience)
Comfortable working independently
Strong technical grounding across commercial property transactions
A client-first mindset and the confidence to lead the department’s next chapter

This is not a role buried in a hierarchy. It’s a unique opportunity to take your career in a more rewarding direction — in a firm where people stay, clients trust, and work flows in.
