This new vacancy has come about due to growth, offering an excellent opportunity to be part of a thriving and dynamic team.
The property team is structured with one Partner and nine Fee Earners, supported by two dedicated assistants. The firm is known for its excellent culture, career progression, and strong emphasis on work-life balance.

Hybrid working is available, with flexibility to work from home, though a preference is given to 3/4 days in the office to foster collaboration and team engagement.
Reporting to the Head of Conveyancing, you will assist in managing a profitable caseload while delivering high-quality legal services.

Business development and networking are also key aspects of the role, contributing to the firm’s ongoing success.
The firm offers a competitive salary, open to discussion based on experience, along with a generous bonus scheme. Clear and achievable billing targets are in place, with current fee earners exceeding expectations based on just 5 chargeable hours per day. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic and growing team, with real prospects for career development in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.
