Blake Morgan is one of the UK's leading full service law firms, with offices in London, Wales, Thames Valley and the South Coast region. We provide our clients with practical and straightforward legal advice whatever their regional, national and international requirements. Our clients are commercial businesses, not-for-profit organisations, government agencies and private individuals.

The Role
You will be able to rely on support from team members across the firm. Our lawyer teams are also well supported by our Business Services Finance, HR, IT and Risk functions.
We are currently working remotely and will continue to work predominantly in this way on an informal basis until government guidelines change and likely beyond. Therefore, so as long as you would be able to come to one of our offices at least twice per week, client and team requirements depending, you will be able to undertake this role. You will be a core part of the team and able to access the technology, support and resources you require.
More information about our practice can be found here .
We are currently looking to hire into our Southampton based Real Estate team and welcome applications from Commercial Property Solicitors with broad ranging property experience. The team acts for investors, developers, banks, occupiers, local authorities and charities and is highly regarded for its work.
If successful you can expect a balance of public and private sector work and your responsibilities might include but not be limited to retail leases and agreements, mixed use site development matters, due diligence and client support in conjunction with more senior fee earners. This role will support prestigious clients on high value deals, in a fast paced and dynamic environment. The successfully appointed candidate will be given an opportunity to work on a variety of matters, both autonomously and as part of the wider team.
We can provide you with an excellent platform to develop both your technical ability and business development skills within a supportive and thriving team.
Whilst you will be part of a large real estate team which spans our other offices (especially London, Oxford, Reading and Cardiff), you will be working exclusively in the real estate team in our Southampton office. You will likely soon develop close client relationships that will endure through your career. Our encouragement of a decent work/life balance and complimentary interests will help you towards a strong long-term profile in this region.
Typical Workload
We are looking for a solicitor to assist with and work alongside all members of our commercial property team. Typical workload will involve:
Skills / Experience Required
Your experience will probably have been acquired at a leading national or regional firm where you have been involved in good quality real estate work (including retail leases and agreements and development matters).
We expect candidates for the position to have the following personal attributes:
Some of the benefits of working at Blake Morgan include:

We pride ourselves on our Personality, which is weaved into everything we do for our staff, clients and communities alike. We have created an environment underpinned by our "ACTS framework" that places high value on being:

We work as one team and believe in supporting our colleagues to strengthen the firm. We act honestly and openly in all that we do. We care for our communities and encourage all our people to actively participate in our sports, social and charitable activities. We foster a mature and smart flexible working environment which is family friendly.
