Job Description
Residential Conveyancing Team Leader | Lead & Grow a Thriving Team
Salary:  c.£38,000 - £48,000 + Bonus
Location: Leicester 
Are you an experienced conveyancer ready to step into a leadership role where you can truly make an impact?
 
Our client, a well-established and respected law firm in Leicester, is seeking a Residential Conveyancing Team Leader to join their expanding property department. This is more than just a management position—it's an opportunity to shape the future of a growing team whilst maintaining your own rewarding caseload.
 
If you're looking for a role that combines hands-on conveyancing with genuine leadership responsibilities, excellent earning potential, and a supportive environment that values your expertise, this could be your next career move.
 
About the Role
As Residential Conveyancing Team Leader, you'll be at the heart of our client's property department, managing and developing a busy team whilst handling your own varied caseload. This dual role offers the perfect balance between leadership and technical conveyancing work, allowing you to utilise your full skill set.
 
You'll be responsible for:
  • Leading and developing the residential conveyancing team, providing guidance, supervision, and mentorship
  • Managing your own caseload of residential property matters from instruction to completion
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, referrers, and introducers
  • Driving business development initiatives to grow the department's client base
  • Ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements and firm policies
  • Implementing best practices and improving team processes and efficiency
  • Monitoring team performance and conducting regular file reviews
Your Caseload Will Include
  • Sale and purchase transactions (freehold and leasehold)
  • New-build developments
  • Re-mortgage transactions
  • Equity release matters
  • Transfer of equity
  • Unregistered and registered land transactions
What We're Looking For
Essential Requirements:
  • Minimum 5+ years' experience in residential conveyancing within a UK law firm
  • Proven team management or supervisory experience – you must have successfully led or managed conveyancers previously
  • Strong technical knowledge across all aspects of residential property law
  • Excellent file management skills with the ability to handle a varied caseload independently
  • Experience using case management systems (ideally but not essential: Case Manager, Proclaim, or similar)
  • Outstanding business development and networking abilities – you should be comfortable building referral relationships
  • Strong compliance awareness and attention to detail
  • Excellent communication skills – both written and verbal
  • Ability to work autonomously with minimal supervision whilst supporting your team
Desirable:
  • CILEX, CLC, or solicitor qualification (though not essential for the right candidate)
  • Established referral network or client following
  • Experience implementing process improvements or training initiatives
What's On Offer
Our client recognises that attracting and retaining top talent requires a competitive and comprehensive package:
  • Competitive salary: £38,000 - £48,000 (dependent on experience and qualifications)
  • Performance-based bonus scheme linked to personal and team targets
  • Hybrid working arrangements – flexibility to work from home after initial training period
  • Career progression opportunities – genuine scope to develop your leadership skills and advance within the firm
  • Generous holiday allowance (25 days plus bank holidays, increasing with service)
  • Pension scheme with employer contributions
  • Ongoing professional development – support for further qualifications and training
  • Supportive working environment with an experienced and collaborative team
  • Modern office facilities in a convenient Leicester location with parking
  • Employee wellbeing initiatives and social events
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This isn't just another conveyancing role—it's a genuine opportunity to lead, influence, and grow. Our client is committed to investing in their people and has ambitious plans for expansion. As Team Leader, you'll have the autonomy to shape the department's direction whilst being supported by experienced partners and a strong administrative team.
 
The firm offers a refreshing approach: they value work-life balance, encourage innovation, and reward excellence. If you're tired of being just another fee-earner and want to take the next step in your career with a firm that will back your ambitions, this is the role for you.
 
Location & Working Arrangements
  • Location: Leicester (easily accessible with parking available)
  • Working hours: Full-time (Monday to Friday, standard office hours with flexibility)
  • Hybrid working: Available after successful completion of initial training and integration period
  • Office environment: Modern, well-equipped workspace with collaborative team atmosphere
Next Steps
If you're an experienced conveyancer with leadership capabilities and you're ready to take your career to the next level, we want to hear from you.
