This highly regarded residential property team, recognised nationally for its technical expertise and award-winning client service is looking to bring a new conveyancer into its Cambridge office. The firm is particularly interested in candidates who have cut their teeth on routine conveyancing matters but are now ready to step into something bigger: a role that offers exposure to high-value transactions, direct access to high-net-worth clients, and the chance to contribute to the continued growth of a top-tier regional firm with a national reputation.

Why this firm?
This isn't just another residential conveyancing role. It's a chance to join a Top national firm that has made a name for:

• High-quality work: handling routine and complex residential matters, from leasehold enfranchisement to high-value freehold purchases.
• Trusted client relationships: acting for high-net-worth individuals, investors, and developers alongside private clients.
• Award-winning service: accredited by the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme, setting the standard for technical and client care.
• A growth mindset: a national team of 60+ conveyancers operating across seven offices, all working collaboratively as one team.

The opportunity
You'll be stepping into a role where you're valued for your expertise, trusted with responsibility, and given the platform to grow. Day to day, you can expect to:

• Act for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals on complex and high-value property transactions.
• Handle the full spectrum of residential conveyancing, including leasehold and freehold sales, purchases, and transfers.
• Develop relationships with existing clients and brokers, while also building new connections to support the Cambridge office's business development strategy.
• Work as part of a close-knit Cambridge team with the backing of a much larger national group.

What we're looking for
The team is seeking someone with strong technical grounding and the ambition to push their career forward. You'll bring:

• At least 2 years' PQE as a Solicitor, Licensed Conveyancer, or Chartered Legal Executive.
• Proven experience across a range of residential conveyancing matters.
• Confidence with CMS, Microsoft Office, and digital case management systems.
• An appetite for business development and growing client relationships in the Cambridge market.

What's on offer
The firm is committed to looking after its people and creating a place where careers thrive. Benefits include:

• Competitive salary and bonus scheme.
• 25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), rising with length of service, and your birthday off.
• Private healthcare, pension scheme, life assurance, and enhanced parental leave.
• Hybrid working and a genuine commitment to work-life balance.
• Recognition awards, long-service benefits, and support for wellbeing, CSR, and professional development.
