Associate – Residential Property (3+ PQE)

Introduction to the Firm

This long-established and highly respected Top 100 UK firm continues to thrive on the strength of its people, its commitment to excellence, and its diverse client base. With over 250 lawyers across commercial, private and not-for-profit practice areas, the firm combines deep-rooted heritage with a refreshingly modern outlook.

Renowned for its integrity, innovation and social conscience, this is a place where lawyers feel empowered to grow, bring their authentic selves to work, and develop long-lasting, trusted relationships with clients. With a firm-wide reputation for quality and collaboration, it’s no surprise that many professionals – including fellow lawyers – choose this firm for their personal legal affairs.

The Opportunity

The firm’s Residential Property team is now seeking an experienced Associate (3+ PQE) to join its respected and growing department. Based out of the SW London office, you’ll be part of a high-performing, partner-led team with a long-standing reputation for excellence in prime London residential property work, leasehold reform, and high-value transactions.

The role offers the perfect blend of autonomy and support, with the opportunity to manage your own caseload while collaborating with colleagues across their network of offices.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in a well-structured, client-led environment where high standards and personal development go hand in hand.

Team Dynamics and Culture

You’ll be joining a friendly, inclusive and collaborative property team that truly values its people. The team has been consistently praised for its technical strength, commercial insight and personal approach—attributes that have earned them a loyal client base, often returning across generations.

The culture is distinctly non-hierarchical and people-focused. You’ll have the freedom to be yourself and the support to flourish—whether that’s through progression, mentoring, business development, or deeper technical specialism.

Key Responsibilities

This is a broad residential property role involving:

• Managing a varied caseload of freehold and leasehold transactions
• Advising on remortgages, lease extensions and enfranchisement
• Handling deeds of variation, transfers of equity and title issues
• Liaising with high-net-worth clients, agents, brokers and third parties
• Supporting business development and contributing to client relationship growth
• Meeting individual time and fee targets with confidence and commercial awareness

About You

This role would suit a confident, client-facing solicitor or legal executive with 3+ years' PQE in residential conveyancing. You’ll be comfortable running your own files and advising a high-quality client base with professionalism, clarity and empathy.

You’ll need to demonstrate:

• A solid track record in residential property matters (including prime or high-value work)
• A strong understanding of the London property market (or the desire to develop one)
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• A commercial mindset and interest in BD activity
• A collaborative, proactive approach to teamworking
• Commitment to high standards of client care

What Makes This Firm Stand Out

• Top 100 UK firm with a strong commitment to social responsibility
• CQS-accredited residential property team with an outstanding reputation
• Hybrid working options and a healthy approach to flexibility
• Generous salary, discretionary bonus, and a full benefits package
• Friendly, collegiate environment where your development is taken seriously
• Ongoing support for CPD and internal knowledge sharing
• Inclusive and vibrant culture that embraces individuality and authenticity

Whether your goals are leadership, specialism or simply a better work-life balance, this firm offers the support, structure and opportunity to help you thrive.

Applications are now open and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. If you’re looking for a role that combines complex, high-quality work with a genuinely supportive culture, this is a chance to join a standout team doing just that.
