Reed Legal is delighted to be working on an exclusive and retained basis with Guest Walker, a highly reputable, small, family-feel firm based in the centre of York.

One of the main highlights of this firm is that they are now an Employee-Owned Trust, run by the employees, for the employees.

They are very busy across all departments, turning away work, and are seeking ambitious individuals eager to progress. Currently, there is a live opportunity in their Commercial Property team.

The role:

A qualified solicitor or legal executive with experience in Commercial Property or Residential Property (all levels considered, including NQ). Guest Walker also offers a rare opportunity to cross-train and transition from Residential Conveyancing into Commercial Property, with full training provided.

You will handle a busy and diverse caseload of high-quality work and clients, similar to those at larger firms.

What’s in it for you:

• Hybrid working with flexible start and end times, promoting a better work/life balance. Other arrangements, such as part-time, may also be considered.
• Generous annual leave plus Christmas and New Year close-down, providing more time for personal pursuits.
• Being an Employee-Owned Trust offers security against acquisition by larger firms and enables profit sharing through tax-free bonuses, making this one of the best bonus schemes in the legal market.
• Significant potential for quick progression to Director if desired.
• A supportive environment that values independence without micromanagement.
• Engagement with high-quality clients and work typically associated with larger firms.

This firm offers some of the best opportunities on the market for solicitors looking to advance their careers while enjoying excellent work conditions and staff care.

If you're interested in joining a firm that values work/life balance and fosters a supportive, team-oriented environment, please apply with an updated CV or contact Kenza Watson or Zoe King at Reed Legal (Edinburgh Office) for more information.
