About the Role
We are looking for an experienced residential conveyancing lawyer to join our team as a Team Lead and supervisor. This role focuses on providing supervision and oversight across a range of conveyancing matters - focusing on matters involving mortgages and acting for lenders, supporting our consultant lawyers and case handlers to deliver high-quality work and excellent client outcomes at pace.
You will play a key role in ensuring files progress smoothly, compliance standards are maintained, and complex issues are proactively resolved to enable successful and timely completions.
Note: We operate a fast-paced environment and high volume of cases; this role is ideal for an independent individual who can manage tight deadlines.
Responsibilities
Supervision & Support: Provide expert guidance and oversight for residential conveyancing transactions, supporting less experienced consultants and case handlers to ensure consistent standards.
Compliance & Risk Management: Ensure strict adherence to Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) rules, maintain accurate records, and conduct initial file reviews, audits, and risk assessments to identify and mitigate risks, ensuring compliance with Anti-Money Laundering and client care standards.
Operational Excellence: Oversee daily operations, ensuring all transactions progress within Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and proactively resolve issues to facilitate smooth completions.
Quality Assurance: Review and sign off key documentation and pre-completion packs, ensuring quality and compliance before submission to lenders or other parties.
Stakeholder Liaison & Advice: Work closely with Lawhive consultants and liaise effectively with clients, estate agents, lenders, and other solicitors. Provide pragmatic, solutions-oriented legal advice on complex or challenging files.
Requirements
At least 5 years of experience in residential conveyancing, including a minimum of 2 years in a supervisory capacity (e.g., team leader, senior conveyancer).
Extensive experience representing lenders and a thorough understanding of their requirements.
Proactive and solutions-oriented with strong problem-solving abilities.
Exceptional attention to detail and communication skills.
Working with Us
You’ll be joining a small, engaged team passionate about providing outstanding legal services and operational excellence.
