Job Title: Property Residential Solicitor
Department: Property
Reports To: Jonathan Attey & Rachel Meredith
Job Summary:
Purpose of role
Wrigleys Solicitors LLP is rated by Chambers and Legal 500 directories in the top tiers for work under Agriculture and Estates, Tax and Trusts, Charities and other areas of work. The Property team has a busy caseload supporting these areas of work and generates its own work streams. We are a dynamic and hard working department, focussed on high service levels and have seen steady growth over the last decade.
This post is a full or part time Solicitor.
The role is predominantly for a residential conveyancer, although the role may include elements of non-standard residential documents such as easements, transfers into trust and intra-family transfers.
The residential work carried out by Wrigleys is high quality, including country houses and high value property in London, plus a solid base of work in northern cities and towns. There are other sources of work, such as community led housing projects and development sites, where residential units are developed and sold. Knowledge of unregistered conveyancing, site assembly and Trusts would be an advantage.
Clients of the department comprise landed estates, farmers, entrepreneurs, charities, faith groups, schools and private individuals. The department carries out a wide range of work for these clients and specialises in related areas.
The candidate will join a busy and forward-thinking team helping clients to achieve their goals within often tight deadlines. The role would suit someone who wants to work on more bespoke residential property transactions, as the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity of instructions.
The candidate will have the ability to work with limited supervision and be willing to supervise others where necessary and appropriate to experience.
The candidate may be asked to engage in some business development activities. A driving licence and access to a car is desirable, though not essential.
We are seeking energetic and bright candidates who will get on well with clients and fit in with the friendly environment at Wrigleys. We have a strong training programme and encourage specialisation where appropriate. We are considering candidates with not less than three years PQE who meet the above criteria.
