A leading national law firm is seeking an experienced and technically strong Conveyancing Manager to join its growing residential property team on a full-time permanent basis.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior conveyancer looking to step into a dedicated management role within a highly regarded and fast-paced environment.
You will be responsible for managing and supporting a team of up to 12 conveyancing fee earners who handle high-volume residential property caseloads.
This is a pure management position, meaning you will not be expected to manage your own caseload. Instead, your focus will be on team leadership, technical support, performance management, compliance, and ensuring the smooth running of the department.
The role is offered on a hybrid basis from the firm’s Leeds office, although fully remote working may also be considered for the right candidate.
