Commercial Property Partner
Kew Law is seeking an ambitious and commercially minded Commercial Property Partner to help drive forward the next stage of growth within our Commercial Property offering.
This role will appeal to a lawyer who enjoys more than simply servicing an existing caseload. We are looking for someone who wants to build relationships, develop a team, raise market profile and create a substantial commercial property practice within an established and ambitious regional law firm.
Whilst Commercial Property is an established part of the firm, we believe there is considerable untapped potential. We have a strong regional brand, an extensive client base, significant cross-referral opportunities and a consistent pipeline of enquiries. We are now looking for the right individual to help convert those opportunities into a market-leading department.
