Senior Commercial Lawyer (Regeneration)
£66,084 - £67,260 | Permanent | Hybrid Working | London Borough of Hackney
Hackney is one of London's most ambitious boroughs. Over the next five years, we are delivering a pipeline of nationally recognised regeneration schemes that are reshaping communities and skylines across East London. We need a Senior Commercial Lawyer to lead the legal delivery of these projects.
The Role
You will be one of two Senior Regeneration Lawyers, holding your own high-level commercial caseload while managing a small team of property lawyers. You are the commercial contracts specialist - property advice sits with your Team Leader. This is a genuine leadership role with real scope, not a management title bolted onto a fee-earner job. Your caseload will cover:
Commercial Contracts: negotiating and drafting commercial contracts
Legal Advice: advising on the procurement of architects and contractors
Public Procurement: ensure compliant procurement routes for major projects
Team Leadership: mentoring a dedicated team of lawyers.
Why This Role
- Work on award-winning projects that provide tangible benefits
- Work closely with senior regeneration clients
- Enjoy the benefits of the Local Government Pension Scheme
- Join a team that is collaborative, supportive, and committed to excellence
What We Are Looking For
- A qualified Solicitor, Barrister, or Chartered Legal Executive
- Experience in commercial contracts, construction law, or regeneration
If you are a commercial contracts specialist who wants more meaning, more scale, and more influence than private practice allows, we want to hear from you. Apply now or send a message to find out more.
