Job description

This firm has several offices across the Devon area, offering an extensive legal service to businesses and individuals both locally and nationally.

Our client’s busy property team provides a bespoke conveyancing service tailored to meet their clients’ needs.

The team is large and expanding, priding themselves on their level of service, combining a traditional personal approach with speed and efficiency using the latest technology. A significant amount of work is received through recommendations from clients.

On behalf of our client, we are seeking an experienced Solicitor or Legal Executive to join their team in delivering an excellent service working in their Teignmouth office, although hybrid working arrangements are available with this role.

Your role as part of the residential property team will include acting for clients in a broad range of residential property work, primarily freehold and leasehold sales and purchases (including for investor clients), transfers of equity and re‑mortgages. While you will be supported in your work, you will be capable of running your own caseload with minimal supervision. You will pro‑actively participate in department and firm‑wide marketing initiatives as well as initiate, build and maintain client and referrer relationships.

You will be a property Solicitor, FCILEx or Licensed Conveyancer with your experience having been gained from general residential property work.

You will be personable, driven, and enthusiastic and an effective communicator who is looking to build a successful career in residential property. As well as being comfortable working collaboratively within the team, you will also be able to work independently at all times.

In return you will be offered a competitive salary and benefits package together with the firm having a real focus on training and development.
