Commercial Property Solicitor | Office-based (Crewkerne) | Clear Route to Partnership | Legal 500 Firm

If you’re an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor (5+ PQE) seeking a long-term role with progression, structure, and city-quality work, without sacrificing work-life balance, this is a standout opportunity with one of the region’s most established Legal 500 firms.

With a strong and growing footprint across Dorset and Somerset, this full-service firm is home to a 20-strong Land & Property team spanning a wide range of experience levels. The team is well-integrated across the firm’s network and plays a key role in its £12m+ turnover.

You’ll join the Crewkerne office, taking ownership of a full caseload from instruction through to post-completion with minimal supervision. You’ll be part of a structured team that includes senior lawyers, junior fee earners and dedicated support staff, allowing for the right balance of autonomy and support. Previous experience mentoring junior colleagues and supervising support staff will be an advantage, as will strong networking skills to help further raise the profile of the firm locally.

Progression is genuinely encouraged, with tailored training and clear promotional pathways toward salaried and equity partnership. Fast-track progression is also available for ambitious individuals who demonstrate leadership and commercial acumen.

This is a full-time, primarily office-based role with the option to work remotely one day per week following the probation/training period. Relocators are welcome, and Crewkerne offers a scenic and relaxed lifestyle within reach of the Jurassic Coast, perfect for those looking to combine high-quality legal work with a change of pace.

Standard working hours are 9am–5pm with a one-hour lunch break. The benefits package includes 33 days’ holiday plus a half-day on your birthday, alongside a contributory pension scheme, discretionary bonuses, life assurance, a health cash plan, regular social events, and flexible working options.
