🏡 Legal Assistant / Residential Conveyancing Assistant / Conveyancing Executive / Legal Executive

Love property law almost as much as a perfectly balanced completion statement?
We’re on the lookout for experienced conveyancing professionals to join our busy Residential Conveyancing team in Southport.

At Napthens, we take our work seriously — but not ourselves. We like our transactions smooth, our clients happy, and our team even happier. If you’ve got solid conveyancing experience and a knack for staying calm when the phone rings, the inbox pings, and the client wants completion yesterday… you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting fee earners with smooth file progression (think less chaos, more completion).

• Managing diaries and keeping clients informed at every step.

• Liaising with estate agents, lenders, and other third parties (bonus points if you can charm them all).

• Preparing legal documentation and keeping those records immaculate.

What We’re Looking For

✅ Proven experience in residential conveyancing — essential, not optional.
✅ Background as a Legal Assistant, Paralegal, Legal Secretary, or Conveyancing Executive.
✅ Strong IT and case management skills (Proclaim experience earns a gold star).
✅ Excellent organisation, communication, and time management.
✅ A positive attitude and genuine care for clients.

Already running your own files as a Paralegal or Conveyancing Executive? Even better — let’s talk!

What’s in It for You

• Competitive salary + performance-based bonus.

• 28 days’ holiday + additional staff benefits.

• A supportive team that knows the value of good humour (and good coffee).

At Napthens, we pride ourselves on delivering excellent service and building lasting relationships — both with our clients and with each other.
