Context
Carreg Law was established in 2014 in Llandeilo, with its second office in Llandovery being opened in 2024. The firm's services cover property, private client, probate, family and dispute resolution and aim to provide the highest quality legal service in the area.
We are seeking a new recruit to focus on providing a wider property service including improving our commercial offering and or contentious property offering. We are proud to act for a diverse number of clients from around West Wales who provide a varied and interesting workload. It is, in many respects, a niche and personal legal practice and we shy away from standard mass market instructions.
We are, in particular, looking to push our services at the Llandovery office which offers an appealing opportunity to someone wishing to become known as Carreg Law's 'go to person' in the area.
Delivering a very high standard of professional service is important to us and so is an unpretentious, supportive, positive and friendly office culture.
