    London

    Job description: Residential Conveyancing Solicitor / Licensed Conveyancer Esca Staffing Solutions | Camden | £50,000 – £70,000 | Permanent Esca Staffing Solutions is working closely with a well-established, property-focused law firm in Camden to find their next great fee earner. Our client has been a fixture in the local market since the late 1980s — a firm of around 40 people, with a busy, close-knit conveyancing team of 14 at its heart. THE ROLE You'll be handling a solid day-to-day caseload of residential conveyancing — the focus of this role is firmly resi, though the firm does handle a small amount of commercial property, so a commercially aware mindset is a plus. This isn't a role where you're left to sink or swim — every fee earner has one-to-one paralegal support, post-completion work is handled entirely by a dedicated post-completion team, and a dedicated compliance team takes care of source of funds checks, so you're not chasing AML paperwork on top of your caseload. You focus on the case; they handle the admin. ABOUT YOU • Qualified Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer, 2+ years PQE, • Solid, practical residential conveyancing experience, • A clean SRA record — no history of regulatory issues, • Whether you've come from a high-volume conveyancing factory or a boutique firm, we're interested — what matters more is how you work and who you are, • A genuine personality. This team works hard, but they like each other, and they want someone who'll fit right in WHAT'S ON OFFER • £50,000 – £70,000, competitive with the market, • 25 days annual holiday, • Flexible working — typically 2 days in the office, 3 remote (with an initial settling-in period based in the office), • Genuinely uncapped progression — courses and qualifications funded. One current partner started at the firm as a secretary, • Steady, high-quality instructions through strong, established relationships with local estate agents — the firm rarely needs to advertise for work, • Business development is recognised and rewarded for those who want to build their own pipeline, • Realistic targets — most files bill at a minimum of £2,000 + VAT, with annual targets set around 3x salary THE TEAM & THE PLACE Camden is a great place to be based — buzzing, easy to get to, none of the soulless commute of somewhere like Canary Wharf. The team of 14 is known for being supportive and motivational, especially for people earlier in their careers — genuinely low turnover, with people staying long-term. INTERESTED? This is a confidential search being handled exclusively by Esca Staffing Solutions. Get in touch for a confidential conversation and full details on the firm. Benefits: • Casual dress, • Company events, • Company pension, • Transport links, • Work from home Experience: • Post Qualification: 2 years (preferred)
