Job description

Are you ready to make your mark as a Senior Associate in Residential Property? This is a standout opportunity

to step into a leading role within a growing Oxford team that is going from strength to strength. If you're looking for high-quality work, genuine career progression, and the chance to be part of a practice on the rise, this is the role for you.

As Senior Associate, you will handle a broad caseload covering the full spectrum of residential property transactions, from guiding first-time buyers through one of the biggest steps of their lives to advising experienced investors with complex portfolios. Every day will bring variety, challenge, and the chance to make a real difference to clients.

What sets this opportunity apart is the platform it offers. You will not simply be running files; you will be given the scope to build your own client base, deepen relationships, and develop your professional profile in the Oxford market. You will work closely with partners and senior colleagues to shape strategy, spot opportunities for growth, and contribute to business development initiatives that are driving this team forward.

You will also play a key role in mentoring junior lawyers, passing on your expertise and helping to nurture the next generation of property specialists. Leadership here is not about hierarchy, it is about collaboration, sharing knowledge, and building something sustainable for the future.

To succeed, you will bring at least three years' PQE as a solicitor, licensed conveyancer, or CILEx professional, with solid technical skills and a proven track record in residential property. Just as important is your ambition and your drive, the ability to see the bigger picture, work proactively, and seize the opportunities that come with being part of a practice that is firmly on the up.

This is not just another conveyancing role. It is a genuine opportunity to join a dynamic and supportive team, to shape your own career path, and to be part of a firm that is investing in Oxford as a key centre for growth. If you are looking for somewhere you can thrive, make an impact, and take your career to the next level, we would love to hear from you.
