The Opportunity An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Conveyancing Fee Earner to join a well-established and highly regarded law firm in Staffordshire.

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys handling an interesting and varied caseload rather than working in a high-volume, target-driven environment. The work is more bespoke in nature, offering the opportunity to deal with a range of residential property transactions, including a fair proportion of new-build matters.

The firm prides itself on its friendly, supportive working environment and commitment to delivering a high-quality service to its clients. With a flexible approach to working arrangements and a genuinely positive team culture, this is an opportunity to join a firm where people enjoy what they do.

The Role

You will handle a varied residential conveyancing caseload, managing transactions from instruction through to completion while providing a high standard of client care.

The work will include a range of residential property transactions, with exposure to new-build matters alongside other bespoke and interesting files. You will have the opportunity to use your technical expertise, take ownership of your matters and build strong relationships with clients.

Responsibilities

• Managing purchases, sales and other residential property transactions, dealing with title issues and enquiries, progressing files efficiently, and ensuring compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

Requirements

• The successful candidate will have solid experience handling residential conveyancing matters independently and be confident managing a varied caseload.


• You will have strong technical knowledge, excellent communication skills and a client-focused approach, with the ability to handle transactions efficiently without compromising on quality.


• Experience with new-build conveyancing would be advantageous. The firm is looking for someone who takes pride in their work and wants to be part of a collaborative, supportive team.

Benefits

• Salary: Commensurate with experience.


• Hybrid working: Typically 2-3 days in the office, with considerable flexibility.


• Annual leave: Very generous - 28 days plus bank holidays.


• Bonus: Discretionary bonus scheme.


• Working environment: A friendly, supportive team with a positive culture.


• Quality of work: A varied, bespoke caseload rather than a volume-driven approach.

About the Firm

Our client is an established regional law firm with a strong reputation for providing high-quality legal advice and building lasting relationships with its clients.

The firm offers a broad range of legal services and prides itself on its technical expertise, approachable culture and commitment to client care. Its residential property team handles a variety of transactions, including sales, purchases, leasehold matters and new-build properties.
