An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Conveyancing Solicitor to join a well-established and growing law firm in the Manchester area. This is a key leadership role within a busy residential property department, offering real scope to influence and develop the team.
You will manage your own caseload while supervising a small team and supporting the wider business. This position also offers the opportunity to step into a senior operational role within the firm.
Key responsibilities include managing a full residential conveyancing caseload, including sales and purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity and auction transactions. You will supervise a team consisting of one qualified solicitor, an assistant and a secretary, and act as second-in-command in the absence of the Managing Partner. The role also involves developing relationships with estate agents and other referrers, and supporting the growth and profitability of the conveyancing department.
The ideal candidate will be a qualified Solicitor with 5+ years PQE in residential conveyancing, with proven experience running a caseload independently. Previous supervisory or leadership experience would be advantageous. You should be commercially minded, proactive in your approach to business development, and confident stepping into a senior role. Experience with auction transactions would be beneficial but is not essential.
In return, a competitive salary is on offer, dependent on experience, along with a bonus structure which can be discussed in more detail at interview. The firm offers hybrid working with one day per week from home, 20 days annual leave plus an additional 3 days for the Christmas shutdown, and strong administrative and team support. This is a great opportunity to play a key role in a growing and evolving business, with clear progression and leadership opportunities.
If you're a senior conveyancer looking to step into a leadership role with genuine influence over a department's growth, please get in touch for a confidential discussion.
