Job Description
A prestigious and well-established law firm with over a century of experience, our client is renowned for delivering high-quality legal services. Based in Haywards Heath, this firm is committed to providing efficient, client-centered conveyancing services. With a long-standing reputation for excellence, the firm is proud of its heritage and its modern approach to law, including an emphasis on innovation, diversity, and inclusion. Their values reflect a dedication to clear communication and providing exceptional support throughout the legal process.
They are currently seeking a Licensed Conveyancer, CILEX, Solicitor, or an experienced Conveyancing Executive to join their busy conveyancing team. The ideal candidate will have at least 3 years of experience, though this doesn't have to be post-qualification (PQE). The role offers a great opportunity to independently manage your own caseload, with minimal supervision and shared support in relation to file opening and AML checks.
You'll be joining a tight-knit, collaborative team of three where support is always available. Team members cover for each other in cases of short absences, ensuring seamless service delivery. With a pet-friendly, open-plan office, this firm fosters a relaxed yet professional environment. There is no pressure to hit billing targets-client care is the priority.
