An ability to market your services, meet billing targets and be involved in firm-wide marketing initiatives will also be important.

A considerable proportion of the commercial property work, across all offices, involves advising Churches, Christian charities and other charities when buying, leasing and selling properties as landlords and tenants, when mortgaging properties or transferring properties as part of structural re-organisations. Therefore, a sound understanding of charity law would be advantageous.
