Solicitor or CILEX Lawyer (Residential Property) - Bath

Are you ready to help shape the future of a rapidly growing, innovative conveyancing firm?

A leading law firm is expanding its presence in Bath and Bristol, and they are looking for a skilled Solicitor or CILEX Lawyer to join their dynamic team and contribute to the firm's exciting journey.

Why Bath?

Bath is a city renowned for its stunning Georgian architecture, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant community - the perfect setting for a modern, fast-growing law firm. As the firm establishes its Bath office, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping its success, delivering exceptional client service, and contributing to its ambitious growth.

About the Firm

This innovative and commercially-focused conveyancing firm has experienced remarkable growth over the past three years, with successful offices in Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, Cirencester, and Worcester. Now, the firm is focusing on expanding into Bath and Bristol.

The firm places a strong emphasis on technology, efficiency, and delivering outstanding client service. With a commitment to empowering their staff, they provide excellent opportunities for career progression, offering training and upskilling for paralegals and support staff to transition into junior fee-earning roles. Their environment rewards ambition, dedication, and high performance, making it the perfect place for forward-thinking professionals to make a real impact.

The Role

The firm is seeking an experienced Solicitor or CILEX Lawyer to lead a small, high-performing team in the newly established Bath office. You will be responsible for managing a caseload of residential conveyancing matters, including sales, purchases, leasehold, freehold, and new build properties, while helping to grow the firm's presence in the city.

This role is ideal for someone with at least 2 years' experience in residential conveyancing, who is commercially minded, target-driven, and adaptable to change. You will benefit from a supportive business development team that will actively feed work into your team, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional service to your clients without the pressure of generating new business yourself. This approach is rare in the industry, and the firm's dedicated business development teams ensure that your caseload remains consistent, so you can focus on what you do best.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and manage a small team, consisting of a paralegal and assistant, focused on residential conveyancing work.

Manage a varied caseload of residential property transactions, including sales, purchases, leasehold, freehold, and new builds.

Play an instrumental role in establishing and growing the Bath office in collaboration with the leadership team.

Build and maintain strong client relationships, providing expert legal advice and exceptional service.

Supervise, mentor, and develop junior fee earners, paralegals, and assistants.

Contribute to business development initiatives, working toward team targets to drive growth and success.

What the Firm is Looking For:

Solicitors or CILEX Lawyers with at least 2 years of experience (PQE is not a strict requirement).

A commercially minded, adaptable individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment.

Proven experience managing a busy caseload and leading a team.

Target-driven with a clear focus on achieving results and contributing to the firm's success.

Exceptional organisational skills and strong attention to detail.

A proactive, "can-do" attitude and a passion for delivering outstanding client care.

Caseload Expectations & Targets:

The firm operates on a fixed-fee model, avoiding time recording, with targets set based on the number of property exchanges. The successful candidate will work towards these targets, which are designed to support both individual and team success, while contributing to the overall growth of the firm.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a firm's expansion into Bath and Bristol, with great potential for both personal and professional development. Join a modern, forward-thinking firm that values its employees and fosters a culture of success.
