This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage and play a key role in shaping the firm's systems, processes, and long-term direction, rather than stepping into a traditional fee-earning position.
 
The Opportunity

The successful candidate will work closely with leadership, with clear scope to influence operations, client experience, and future growth.

  • Re-mortgages and refinance matters
  • Lease extensions
• Contributing to process improvement and operational development
• Building and maintaining relationships with agents, lenders, and referrers
• Supporting the firm's ongoing growth strategy and service offering

Progression & Development

• Clear pathway into a senior or leadership role as the firm expands
• Opportunity to take on increased responsibility across people, processes, or departments
• Potential for profit-linked or performance-based incentives aligned with contribution
• The chance to play a key role in the long-term success of a growing business

Candidate Profile

• Minimum of 4 years' PQE (or equivalent) in residential conveyancing (Solicitor, Licensed Conveyancer, or Chartered Legal Executive)
• Confident managing a full caseload independently
• Strong technical knowledge of residential property and land law
• Commercially aware, proactive, and solutions-focused
