Whether you're quietly curious about what's out there or hadn't considered a move until now - this might be the nudge you didn't know you needed.

This is an opportunity to join one of the region's most respected and fast-growing law firms, with a strong presence across Devon and a commitment to doing things differently.

You'll be given the freedom to manage your own files while collaborating with a team that values knowledge-sharing and collaboration. Beyond the day-to-day work, the firm encourages active involvement in business development and networking - but only if that's your thing.

What We Are Looking For:

• A qualified Solicitor, Legal Executive or Senior Conveyancer with solid residential property experience
• Someone comfortable running their own caseload independently
• A team player who thrives in a fast-paced but supportive environment
• An interest in client care, commercial awareness, and ideally a touch of enthusiasm for networking and business growth
