If you're an experienced Residential Conveyancer who is tired of relentless caseloads, constant interruptions and feeling like the only measure of success is how much you bill, this could be a very different opportunity.
Clayton Legal are working with a forward-thinking and rapidly growing law firm with an established reputation for excellent client service and a strong focus on its people.
As part of its continued expansion across Lancashire, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire, the firm is looking for an experienced Residential Conveyancer to join one of its West Yorkshire offices.
The Role
You'll manage your own caseload of residential property matters from instruction through to completion, with the autonomy to take ownership of your clients and transactions.
Your caseload is likely to include:
Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
Remortgages
Transfers of equity
New-build transactions
Shared ownership
Right to Buy matters
You'll review titles and searches, raise and respond to enquiries, prepare contracts and reports on title, manage exchange and completion, and deal with post-completion requirements.
Most importantly, you'll have the time, support and resources to provide the level of client care you know you should be able to deliver.
A Better Way of Working
The firm understands what causes burnout within conveyancing - excessive workloads, constant interruptions and the feeling that you have to do everything yourself.
That's why they've invested in a structure designed to allow fee earners to focus on fee earning and looking after their clients.
You'll benefit from:
Dedicated reception and telephone support
Strong internal processes and systems
A supportive team and genuine open-door culture
Autonomy over your own caseload
A growing legal support function
Modern technology and AI-enabled software
A collaborative environment where colleagues genuinely support one another
In other words, you won't be expected to be your own secretary, administrator and fee earner all at once.
Career Development Without the Burnout
Progression doesn't have to mean simply taking on a bigger caseload or more responsibility.
The firm has ambitious growth plans and a strong track record of developing its people, meaning there are genuine opportunities to develop your technical skills, take on additional responsibilities, support junior colleagues or even explore other areas of the business.
Whether your ambition is to progress within Residential Property or eventually move into another area of law, internal development is actively encouraged.
The Package
Alongside a competitive salary(£35k-£50k, depending on experience), the firm offers a strong benefits package including:
Profit Share Bonus
Hybrid Working
33 days' annual leave, including bank holidays
Extra day off for your birthday
Enhanced pension - 5% employer contribution / 4% employee
Paid volunteering time
Latest AI technology and legal software
Funded eye tests
Free on-site parking
Free food and drinks in the office
Wellbeing support
CPD provided as standard
About You
You'll be an experienced Residential Conveyancer with a proven ability to manage your own caseload from instruction through to completion.
More than anything, the firm is looking for someone who:
Takes pride in delivering excellent client service
Has strong technical residential conveyancing knowledge
Can manage their own caseload effectively
Communicates clearly and confidently with clients and third parties
Enjoys working as part of a supportive team
Is keen to develop themselves and those around them
Wants more from their career than simply hitting billing targets
If you're an experienced conveyancer who wants autonomy without isolation, progression without unnecessary pressure, and a genuinely supportive working environment, this could be an excellent next move.
