Senior Residential Conveyancer (Hybrid)

Job overview:

Our client is looking to hire a Senior Residential Conveyancer who is excited about the way AI is shaping professional services to join their rapidly growing team.
This is an early, high-impact role. Your mission is to set the standard for outstanding conveyancing on a small caseload, support and supervise other members of the conveyancing team, whilst collaborating with specialists in legal technology to inform and build systems that amplify your expertise, speed things up, keep clients informed and guard against risk.

The Role:

Conveyancing excellence: Run a small, high-quality caseload end-to-end across
freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, including some new build and shared
ownership transactions. Caseloads will gradually build as AI systems are
implemented, allowing them to grow sustainably and help more clients without
compromising on quality.

Supervision and technical leadership: Help set, support and enable supervisory
structures and processes to assure conveyancing technical excellence, to include
contributing to and being accountable for conveyancing legal practice policies and
procedures.

Time dedicated to technology: Work closely with product, engineering and operations
to test, refine and adopt AI-driven conveyancing policies and workflows. You will help
identify bottlenecks, sources of re-work and recurring risk themes, and translate
these into practical process improvements that shape the law firm of the future.

Access to cutting-edge technology: Although you won't have the traditional support of
an assistant or paralegal, you will have access to cutting edge technology designed
to make your life easier - and you'll help build and refine it.

Responsibility: With support, technology and guidance where you need it, you are
trusted to deliver excellent client care and legal work with limited supervision, and to
exercise sound judgement on when to slow down, escalate or seek additional review
to protect client outcomes and the firm's reputation.

Essential background:

AI-first mindset: You've invested time to learn about AI and experimented with
various AI tools ideally both at work and at home, and you're excited to use AI and
automation to create meaningful skills leverage - not just efficiency gains.

A highly experienced conveyancer with very strong technical legal knowledge, client
skills, and compliance awareness. They typically target 10+ years PQE for their Senior
Conveyancer roles, but they prioritise capability over rigid thresholds.

Significant experience of supervising others as well as personally running
transactions start to finish, ideally including complex leasehold (e.g. Building Safety
Act impacted), shared ownership and new build along with supervision.

Experience of identifying and developing policies and procedures to assure AML and
general conveyancing compliance, best practice and matter progression.

Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment, iterating processes as they go.

Wants to build, not just bill: motivated by shaping a better model for conveyancing
and improving how work gets done
