We are very honoured to be partnering with a leading organisation in an ever-growing, future-focused sector - one that continues to experience sustained growth and increasing demand year after year.
As part of their continued expansion, this forward-thinking business is seeking to appoint an In-House Commercial Property Solicitor, offering a rare and exciting opportunity for a Republic of Ireland-qualified solicitor to step into a high-impact legal role within a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
This position offers the chance to work across a wide range of real estate matters, gain unique in-house experience, and contribute directly to the strategic growth of a company at the forefront of its industry.


The Role - Key Responsibilities:


In this role, you will play a central part in the efficient delivery of legal services related to Irish real estate law. Key responsibilities include:





  • Managing a busy and varied caseload of commercial property matters



  • Carrying out legal due diligence, title reviews, and property searches



  • Drafting, negotiating, and completing leases, licences, option agreements, and related legal documents



  • Ensuring the company's real estate dealings are fully compliant with all relevant laws, regulations, and best practices



  • Monitoring legal developments and keeping the wider team updated on changes in legislation and case law



  • Collaborating with and instructing external legal advisors as needed



  • Maintaining strong working relationships across internal teams and external partners through proactive communication and timely updates



  • Providing general legal support to the business across commercial contracts, NDAs, construction agreements, and company policies



  • Offering clear legal feedback to management and stakeholders when required


What We're Looking For - Essential Experience:



  • A qualified solicitor in the Republic of Ireland, with at least 3 years' post-qualification experience



  • Strong experience in commercial property law within the ROI



  • Demonstrated ability to draft and negotiate a wide range of property-related legal documents, particularly leases



  • A proven track record of independently managing a caseload, with good judgment on when to escalate or collaborate



  • A self-starter who works well under pressure and meets deadlines consistently



  • Strong attention to detail, with a methodical and organised approach to work



  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to explain legal matters clearly to non-legal colleagues


Desirable Background:



  • Experience in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts



  • Previous legal work with clients in sectors such as infrastructure, energy, or telecoms


Salary & Benefits:



  • Highly competitive base salary



  • Discretionary annual bonus (up to 10%)



  • Private healthcare scheme



  • Company pension contribution



  • Life insurance cover



  • 33 days annual leave, including public holidays



  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements



  • Ongoing learning and professional development opportunities



This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded property solicitor to make a real impact in-house, working alongside experienced professionals in a business committed to innovation, growth, and long-term success.
