Residential Property Solicitor | NQ+ | Bristol
This isn't a volume factory. The firm handles selective, mid-to-high-end residential work, the kind where clients expect detailed advice, not just process. In the City, they work exclusively with high-net-worth individuals. Across the country, they replicate that approach: fewer files, better quality, proper attention to detail.
The Work
You will handle sales, purchases, remortgages, lease extensions and transfer of equity matters for clients who have chosen the firm for expertise, not price.
The caseload is manageable by design. The expectation is that you give each transaction the time it needs, stay ahead of issues and communicate clearly. That is how the firm has built its reputation, and it is non-negotiable.
You will work with experienced heads of department and senior conveyancers who have been with the business long-term. The environment is collaborative, tech-enabled and process-driven, but not at the expense of judgment or client relationship.
Why This Makes Sense
The headline here is the bonus scheme and the working structure, both of which are rare in conveyancing.
The firm operates a discretionary annual bonus tied to team performance. Last year, every member of staff received a bonus. NQs took home between 31% and 36% of their base salary on average, with the highest bonuses reaching even higher than this.
On top of that, the working week is 35 hours with hybrid flexibility, three days in the office, two from home. You are also on a 9-day fortnight, which is managed via rota to ensure office coverage.
The package is well above market for regional residential property work, and the hours and flexibility make it sustainable.
What They're Looking For
You will be a qualified solicitor or legal executive (NQ+) with residential conveyancing experience, comfortable managing your own files and confident communicating directly with clients, agents and lenders.
The firm values people who care about the quality of their work, stay organized under pressure and want to be part of a team that is building something rather than maintaining it.
If you want well-paid, high-quality residential property work with true flexibility and the chance to join a practice at the point of growth, this is worth a conversation.
