What you’ll be doing:

• Running your own caseload (with support) including sales, purchases, refinances, transfers of part/equity, leases, and easements
• Supporting senior lawyers on more complex property transactions
• Working closely with clients and maintaining excellent standards of service and care
• Contributing to business development and cross-referrals across departments
• Supervising or delegating to junior team members or paralegals where appropriate

What we’re looking for:

• A Newly Qualified Solicitor (or trainee due to qualify in the next few months)
