Senior Residential Property Associate 
London
£Competitive + Benefits

A leading London law firm is looking to appoint a Senior Associate to join its highly regarded Residential Conveyancing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced residential property solicitor looking to take the next step in their career within a sophisticated, client-focused practice. The role offers exposure to a broad range of residential property matters, including high-value, complex and technically challenging transactions, alongside the opportunity to develop client relationships and contribute to the continued growth of the team.

You will manage a varied caseload of residential conveyancing matters from instruction through to completion, acting for a diverse client base including HNW and UHNW individuals, families, trustees and property investors.

Your work will include:
  • Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
  • Remortgages and refinancing
  • Lease extensions and enfranchisement
  • Complex title issues and restrictive covenants
  • Property structuring matters
  • High-value and time-sensitive transactions
  • Advising clients on technically complex residential property matters
You will have significant responsibility for your own matters and client relationships, providing pragmatic, commercially focused advice and ensuring a consistently high level of client service.

The role will also involve supervising and supporting junior fee earners and support staff, working collaboratively with colleagues across other specialist areas and developing strong relationships with external referrers, including estate agents, lenders and surveyors.

This is a role with genuine scope for someone who enjoys the client and business development side of residential property.

You will be encouraged to:
  • Develop relationships with existing and prospective clients
  • Build a strong network of professional referrers
  • Attend networking events and industry functions
  • Contribute to articles, presentations and other thought leadership
  • Support the wider growth and profile of the residential property team
The successful candidate won't simply be looking to manage an existing caseload; they will be someone who is commercially ambitious, well-connected and motivated to develop their own client base and bring in new instructions. A strong interest in networking, relationship building and business generation is therefore essential.
