What does a commercial property lawyer do?

The cases which a commercial property lawyer will work on generally involve the sale, purchase and lease of property for use as business premises. This includes offices, industrial units, retail units and manufacturing plants. Their role is to deal with legal implications of these property transactions. Specifically, they will look at issues such as Land Registration rules, rent, deeds and property licenses.

What attributes do commercial property lawyers have?

Due to the nature of their work, commercial property lawyers must be able to cope under pressure, and be able to meet demanding deadlines. They must be commercially aware, and be able to process large amounts of information quickly, requiring strong analytical skills. They will work within a team, meaning that excellent teamwork, interpersonal and communication skills are all essential prerequisites. It might be that the client will need additional legal services.

What qualifications do I need to become a commercial property lawyer?

Usually, candidates will be expected to have attained an Honours degree at 2:1 level or above. Those with a foundation degree or an HND only will not be considered, however, you can enter a training programme by first qualifying as a Legal executive.
