Job Description

What You Will Be Doing

You will work closely with Fiona Parsons and her team, supporting and gradually building responsibility in:

  • Assisting with residential conveyancing transactions from instruction through to completion
  • Supporting on freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
  • Drafting contracts, transfers, and supporting documentation
  • Reviewing title, searches, and raising enquiries
  • Liaising with clients, estate agents, lenders, and other solicitors
  • Using case management systems and digital onboarding tools
  • Ensuring compliance with lender requirements, regulatory obligations, and firm procedures

You will be given increasing responsibility as your confidence and competence develop.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a motivated and ambitious candidate who is serious about building a career in residential conveyancing.

Ideal candidates will demonstrate:

  • A qualifying law degree (LLB/GDL) and progress toward SQE or LPC
  • A genuine interest in property law and conveyancing
  • Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
  • Excellent communication and client care skills
  • A proactive, positive attitude and willingness to learn
  • The ability to work in a structured, process-driven environment
  • Commercial awareness and interest in how a modern conveyancing practice operates

Prior experience in a conveyancing or legal environment is advantageous but not essential.

What We Offer

  • Direct mentoring from Fiona Parsons (Partner)
  • A structured and supportive training environment
  • Exposure to a high-volume, quality-driven conveyancing practice
  • Early responsibility with appropriate supervision
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Clear progression pathway to qualification and beyond
  • A modern firm with investment in technology, systems, and process improvement

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a “back-seat” trainee role. You will:

  • Work alongside an experienced Partner from day one
  • Learn how to deliver conveyancing without compromising quality
  • Be developed with a clear expectation of qualification and progression
