Job description

Are you an experienced Residential Property Lawyer ready to take the reins of a thriving department and make it your own? There is a real gap in experienced, qualified conveyancers in Cambridge so this is a great role if you want to make a mark in this city.

We’re working on behalf of a progressive and well-respected law firm in the Cambridge area who are seeking a Head of Residential Conveyancing to lead their team, drive business development, and nurture existing and future client relationships. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone ready to step into a leadership position with genuine autonomy and support to shape a team around them.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the blend of hands-on legal work, strategic leadership, and client engagement - someone who thrives on building connections, driving a department forward, and being a visible face in the local property market.

Why This Role Stands Out

Hybrid working-Enjoy the flexibility of working from home and the office. With a focus on client relationships and business development, your schedule can be shaped around your needs, including time spent with clients and referral partners outside traditional office hours.

Unlimited holiday-A flexible approach to work-life balance means you take the time you need, when you need it.

Dress for your day-The culture here is relaxed and modern, you dress for your schedule.

Supportive culture- Join a collaborative team with a strong ethos of understanding, mutual respect, and working together.

Tech-forward firm-Benefit from investment in cutting-edge IT and innovation, including developments in AI to support both lawyers and clients. This is a firm that looks forward.

Leadership opportunity-This is a genuine chance to take ownership of a department, drive strategy, and make a name for yourself in the local legal market.

About the Role

You’ll be leading the Residential Conveyancing team and playing a key role in the strategic development of the department. This includes managing your own caseload, building and maintaining referral relationships, and representing the firm across local networks.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and grow the Residential Conveyancing team
• Manage your own caseload of residential transactions (sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity)
• Develop and nurture referral relationships in the local market
• Attend and represent the firm at client events and networking activities
• Support, mentor and grow a collaborative team
• Work closely with senior leadership to shape and deliver departmental goals

What We're Looking For:

• Qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive (minimum of 4 years PQE but up to almost any level of qualification) with diverse and comprehensive experience in residential property
• Strong understanding of property law and conveyancing procedures
• Proven ability to develop new business and foster referral relationships
• Local market knowledge and contacts are highly desirable
• Confident communicator with a commercial mindset
• Comfortable working flexibly and independently as well as collaboratively
• Driven to build something of your own, while contributing to a wider team

This is more than a job - it’s an opportunity to lead, innovate, and truly shape a department in your vision.
