Head of Residential Conveyancing (10+ PQE) This is not a steady-state role. This is a build-and-scale opportunity. We’re working with a high-growth, modern law firm that is deliberately investing in its residential conveyancing offering and is now looking for a senior leader to take full ownership of it.

You will not be inheriting a tired department. You will be shaping how conveyancing is delivered as the firm scales. This is currently a full-time office-based role. The firm is at a stage where collaboration, pace and consistency matter. Hybrid working is planned, but right now the focus is on growth, momentum and getting things right. What you’ll be doing: • Leading and developing the Residential Conveyancing department, • Setting processes, workflows and service standards as the team grows, • Managing, mentoring and hiring solicitors, conveyancers and support staff, • Overseeing complex matters where required, • Driving efficiency through legal tech and case management systems, • Working closely with senior leadership on growth strategy and resourcing, • Taking responsibility for quality, compliance and profitability What they’re looking for: • Around 10+ years’ experience in residential conveyancing, • Open to Solicitors, CLC or CILEX-qualified professionals, • Proven leadership experience or clear readiness to step into a Head of role, • Tech-savvy, with hands-on experience using platforms such as Clio, InfoTrack or similar, • Commercially minded and comfortable building something at pace, • Confident, accountable and decisive Why this role stands out: • Rare opportunity to build and lead a department, not just manage one, • Strong backing and investment from senior leadership, • Modern, tech-led approach to residential conveyancing, • Clear long-term progression as the firm continues to scale Interested? Get in touch and apply to this job for a confidential conversation and we will talk through the vision and expectations properly.
