A well-established property focussed law firm is looking to recruit an experienced Residential Conveyancing Paralegal to join its busy property team.

This is a hands-on role supporting fee earners with a high-quality residential caseload and would suit someone who enjoys the practical, day-to-day delivery of conveyancing work within a stable and supportive team environment.

The role

You’ll be involved in the full lifecycle of residential property transactions, including:

• Assisting with sales, purchases, re-mortgages and transfers of equity

An established boutique property law firm in Nottinghamshire is growing and is looking to welcome a Residential Property Fee Earner to join its busy residential property team.

This is a new role, created due to increased workflow and planned team growth. The firm already has several qualified lawyers in place, with further hires coming through later this year, making this a great time to join.

Why this role is different

If you’re a conveyancer who’s feeling a bit bored of back-to-back sale and purchase files, this could be a really refreshing change.

The firm does not handle sale and purchase conveyancing. Instead, the focus is on non-contentious residential property work, particularly leasehold matters such as:

• Deeds of variation
• Lease extensions
• Other interesting, technical residential property work

The work is shared sensibly across the team, but this role allows one person to really get stuck into leasehold work and develop that specialism within a boutique environment.

Who this would suit

• Solicitor, CILEX or equivalent experience
• No minimum PQE requirement
• A solid understanding of conveyancing
• Leasehold experience is helpful, but not essential
• Someone who enjoys working collaboratively in a small team
• Happy with an office-based role

The environment

• Relaxed, friendly atmosphere
• No client footfall in the office, just space to focus on the work
• Boutique firm with a specialist residential property offering
• Office based in Edwinstowe
• Full-time or part-time considered

The package

• Competitive salary, depending on experience

If you’re looking to step away from volume conveyancing and into a more specialist, people-focused firm where the work is genuinely interesting, this is a rare opportunity.

Apply
