Head of Residential Property – Cardiff
National Law Firm | New Office Launch | Leadership Role | Six-Figure Package + Bonus
TSR Legal are pleased to be working with a leading national law firm that is preparing to establish its new Cardiff office as part of its expansion into the South Wales legal market. This presents a rare and exciting opportunity for an experienced Residential Property specialist to step into a Head of Residential Property role and play a key part in shaping the future of the firm’s presence in the region.
This is a senior leadership position that offers far more than the typical head of department role. It is an opportunity to build and lead a Residential Property team from the ground up, supported by the resources, infrastructure, and commercial vision of a modern, forward-thinking law firm.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
-
A true leadership position: You will have the autonomy and strategic responsibility to develop the Cardiff Residential Property team, shape its culture, and establish a strong market presence.
-
A corporate structure: The firm’s model moves away from the traditional partnership hierarchy, empowering leaders to make decisions and drive the business forward.
-
An established and respected national brand: This firm has a proven track record of successful expansion, offering a robust platform for your success.
-
A focus on high-value, complex Residential Property work: This is not a volume conveyancing role, but a chance to work on a diverse and interesting caseload, including HNW and bespoke matters.
What We Are Looking For:
-
An experienced Residential Property lawyer with a track record of delivering high-quality client service.
-
Strong leadership experience – you may be an existing Head of Department, or a Senior Associate/Partner ready for the next step.
-
A commercial mindset with the ability to drive business development and build strong client relationships.
-
Ideally, a good understanding of the South Wales property market and strong professional networks.
-
A passion for developing talent and fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture.
What’s on Offer:
-
A six-figure package plus bonus and benefits.
-
The opportunity to build and lead a team with full strategic input.
-
A forward-thinking and supportive working environment, with flexibility at its core.
-
A chance to make a genuine impact in the South Wales legal market.
This is a unique opportunity for a Residential Property leader who wants to shape their own department within a leading national law firm.
