Secured Lending / Commercial Property Solicitor

Manchester | £60,000-£70,000+ DOE | Hybrid Working

Are you an experienced Solicitor specialising in Secured Lending or Commercial Property and looking for an opportunity to take the next step in your career?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing law firm that is establishing a new Manchester office, with the chance to play a pivotal role in building and leading its secured lending offering.

The firm has secured a significant exclusive lending relationship, generating substantial ongoing work, and is now looking for an ambitious Solicitor who wants more than simply managing a caseload. This is an opportunity to take ownership, influence the direction of a growing team and play a key role in the firm's expansion.

The Opportunity

Initially, you will take responsibility for managing a varied secured lending caseload, working with bridging lenders and dealing with both single and dual representation matters.

Your work will include:

• Acting for lenders and borrowers on secured lending transactions.
• Handling purchases, remortgages and buy-to-let transactions.
• Managing commercial property and bridging finance matters.
• Drafting and reviewing legal charges, debentures and facility letters.
• Advising on corporate and personal guarantees.
• Managing transactions from instruction through to completion.
• Working autonomously and providing support and guidance to junior colleagues.
• Helping develop and grow the Manchester team as the office expands.

What We're Looking For

• A qualified Solicitor with approximately 2-5 years' PQE.
• Previous experience in secured lending and/or commercial property.
• Experience dealing with bridging finance, buy-to-let or lender-side transactions.
• A good understanding of charges, debentures, facility letters and guarantees.
• Someone confident managing their own caseload with minimal supervision.
• An ambitious individual who wants to develop their career and take on leadership responsibility.

The firm is particularly interested in speaking with Solicitors who may currently be working within larger commercial practices but feel ready for greater responsibility, more involvement in decision-making and the opportunity to make a real impact.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive salary of £60,000-£70,000+, depending on experience.
• Attractive performance-related bonus scheme, with 25% of fees generated above target.
• Hybrid working, typically 2-3 days in the office.
• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Additional Christmas leave.
• Pension.
• Laptop, telephone and equipment provided for home working.
• Potential parking support, depending on requirements.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join at an exciting stage of the firm's growth.

You will be joining an established and growing practice with a strong pipeline of secured lending work and the backing to develop a new Manchester office.

There is a genuine opportunity to build a team around you, with the longer-term ambition of growing the department to include additional Solicitors and paralegals.

For someone who is commercially minded, ambitious and keen to progress into a leadership position, this could be an excellent next move.
