Anthony Collins

Job Description

Anthony Collins Solicitors is seeking a dedicated Commercial Property Solicitor to join our market-leading team in Birmingham (or hybrid). For over 50 years, we have been a firm driven by a social mandate: to “improve lives, communities, and society.” This role is not just about transactions; it is about providing the legal foundation that allows charities, faith organizations, and social enterprises to thrive.

You will manage a diverse and intellectually stimulating caseload, acting as a strategic advisor to organizations that put social purpose at the heart of their operations. From acquiring community hubs to managing complex ecclesiastical property portfolios, your expertise will have a direct, tangible impact on local communities.


Key Accountabilities

  • Transaction Management: Lead on high-value acquisitions, disposals, and complex leasing arrangements tailored to the unique needs of the third sector.

  • Complex Advisory: Provide technical guidance on intricate property matters, including development projects, title issues, and trust-related property constraints.

  • Mentorship: Act as a technical beacon for the team, supervising and developing the skills of junior colleagues to ensure the continued excellence of the department.

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build long-term, trusted relationships with clients, understanding their social goals as deeply as their legal requirements.


Your Toolkit for Success

  • Legal Expertise: Extensive experience in commercial property law with a track record of handling litigated and non-litigated matters.

  • Sector Interest: A genuine passion for the third sector (charities and social enterprises); previous experience in this niche is highly desirable.

  • Leadership Qualities: The ability to guide others, resolve complex legal bottlenecks, and maintain high standards of quality assurance.

  • Communication: Exceptional ability to explain complex legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders (e.g., charity trustees or faith leaders).


Why Anthony Collins?

  • Purpose-Led Work: Join a firm where “social impact” is a core KPI, not just a marketing slogan.

  • Work-Life Balance: Hybrid working model with 25 days holiday plus 2 special gift days at Christmas.

  • Social Commitment: 3 dedicated days per year for social purpose volunteering.

  • Birmingham Hub: Access to a newly refurbished office featuring an on-site café and a free private gym for colleagues.

  • Growth: Benefit from an industry-leading technical training programme to become a true sector specialist.
