Job description

A new opportunity to join a fantastic team of 9 in a modern, forward thinking practice that works in a traditional way. This firm does a low volume of work and works on behalf of repeat clients and client referrals. In the team of 9, there are 3 conveyancers, 3 paralegals and 3 assistants, with post-completion and new business being dealt with separately. So fee earners are incredibly well supported here.

They need a strong residential property lawyer to take on a full-time position and play a key role in the department. You will have an even smaller caseload than the other 3 conveyancers and deal with a caseload of more complex matters. Naturally slotting into something of a 2nd in command position in the department.

Key requirements of the role:

• Handling a full and varied caseload of complex conveyancing matters efficiently and independently, and taking all cases from instruction through to completion.
• You will be a senior fee earner in this business and they want someone ready to progress in this key growth stage for the firm.
• To be considered for this role, you must be an experienced conveyancer. It is not essential but preferred if you have qualified as a Residential Property Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive.

Benefits:

• Market leading salary and bonus structure.
• Exceptional career progression opportunities.
• Ongoing training and development.
• Flexible working arrangements.
