Our newest HCR office in Shrewsbury is continuing to grow, strengthening our presence across England and Wales and bringing our network to 13 offices nationwide. The office opening was driven by strong client demand in the region and is an opportunity to make a visible impact on the local market.

This is an opportunity for you to play a key role in building a Commercial Property practice in the office, with the support of the national team. We have an established and well-connected national Commercial Property group with over 80 fee earners with a range of specialisms spanning from broad commercial property work to commercial development, real estate finance and construction.
