Residential Conveyancer

Bristol – £50,000 - £60,000

Residential Conveyancer, Bristol
 
Lead, Build, and Shape Your Own Team - Be Part of a Growing Success Story
 
This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal role where you won't just join a team—you'll lead one. You'll head up a brand-new function, with the autonomy and support to shape it in your vision, building and developing a high-performing team around you.
 
Our client has an exceptional track record of attracting top talent and has experienced significant growth in recent years. This is your chance to be part of that continued success story—joining at an exciting stage where your impact will be visible and valued from day one.
 
The Opportunity
 
While the finer details can be tailored depending on your experience, the immediate priority is a senior hire in Bristol.
 
They're ideally looking for someone at Senior Associate or Associate level—or an experienced fee earner ready to step up into a more senior, leadership-driven position.
 
This role would suit a qualified Solicitor, CILEX Lawyer, or Licensed Conveyancer who may currently feel held back and is looking for the platform to progress, lead, and make their mark.
 
Salary is flexible and reflective of experience. For exceptional candidates seeking a package at the top end, there is scope to shape or expand the role to align with a more senior appointment.
 
What You'll Be Doing
  • Managing a full caseload of residential conveyancing matters autonomously
  • Playing a key role in establishing and growing a new team or branch
  • Supervising, mentoring, and developing junior colleagues
  • Delivering high-quality client service across a range of transactions including freehold, leasehold, new build, and more complex matters
This is as much a leadership role as it is a fee-earning one—perfect for someone excited by the idea of building something and leading from the front.
 
About the Firm
 
With offices across the south west, they are a modern, fast-growing law firm with a strong reputation in residential conveyancing.
 
Beyond the work, they foster a genuinely positive working environment, with regular social events and even all-expenses-paid trips abroad.
 
What's on Offer
  • Competitive, market-leading salary (DOE)
  • Generous quarterly bonus scheme
  • Pension and death in service benefits
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Subsidised travel and parking
  • Discounted gym membership
  • Employee wellbeing support packages
  • Regular social events and team incentives
  • If you're ready to take the next step in your career—not just doing the job, but shaping the future of a team—this is your opportunity.
