Residential Property Conveyancer
Residential Property Lawyer – Woking (Hybrid Working Available)
Solicitor | Licenced Conveyancer | Legal Executive – 5+ PQE
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a seasoned conveyancer to join a well-established, forward-thinking law firm with deep roots in the Surrey community. This is a fantastic role for a confident and personable lawyer who enjoys client contact, values quality over quantity, and is looking to make a long-term career move within a stable and collegiate environment.
The Firm
With a proud heritage, this respected regional firm combines traditional values with a modern, service-led approach. Known for its integrity, professionalism, and client-first ethos, the firm has built a loyal following across personal and commercial matters. Following a successful merger and conversion to a limited company, the firm continues to grow steadily while preserving its reputation for friendly, reliable advice.
Teamwork, trust, and autonomy are central to the firm’s ethos. Lawyers are supported by proactive administrators and secretaries, enabling them to focus on delivering a first-class client experience. The firm also champions a balanced working life, offering genuine flexibility and a welcoming, low-hierarchy culture.
