Head of Conveyancing | Greater Manchester | Ownership Prospects
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Residential Conveyancer to take the reins of a busy department at a long-established, well-respected high street firm in Greater Manchester - with genuine prospects to take equity in the near future in line with succession planning.
The Firm
This is a personable, community-focused practice with deep roots in the local area and a loyal client base built up over decades. The firm's reputation is built on quality, trust, and approachability, and they are proud of their friendly, down-to-earth culture. Around 80-90% of the firms work across conveyancing and wills & probate comes through word of mouth and reputation, as opposed to actively sourcing via business development. The sense of client familiarity is incredibly strong at this practice.
With the current owners planning for retirement over the next few years, all fee-earners within the departments have succession planning prospects. For those looking for opportunities where they can have a impact on the success of a business and not just a department, this is a excellent opportunity.
All fee-earners are well supported by teams of legal secretaries & paralegals.
