Conveyancing Fee Earner / Solicitor – Essex

A well-established and highly regarded law firm is looking to recruit a Conveyancing Fee Earner, Solicitor or newly qualified Licensed Conveyancer to join its property team in Essex.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced conveyancer who is confident running their own caseload, as well as newly qualified solicitors or Licensed Conveyancers looking to establish themselves within a busy and supportive property team.

The firm is looking for someone who can take ownership of their matters, deal directly with clients, and handle enquiries independently.

The Role

The successful candidate will manage a varied property caseload, with a particular focus on:

  • Residential property sales and purchases
  • Commercial property transactions
  • Commercial leases
  • Managing matters from initial instruction through to completion
  • Running your own caseload with a high degree of autonomy
  • Raising and responding to enquiries
  • Reviewing and reporting on property searches
  • Preparing and reviewing contracts and other conveyancing documentation
  • Liaising directly with clients, estate agents, lenders, and other solicitors
  • Managing exchange and completion
  • Providing clear and regular updates to clients
  • Ensuring matters progress efficiently and within required timescales
  • Maintaining accurate and compliant files

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

The role offers the opportunity to work across both residential and commercial property, making it particularly attractive to someone who enjoys a varied caseload rather than focusing exclusively on residential conveyancing.

About You

The firm is open to considering candidates at different stages of their conveyancing career, including:

  • Experienced Conveyancing Fee Earners
  • Conveyancing Solicitors
  • Newly Qualified Solicitors
  • Licensed Conveyancers / CLC Lawyers
  • Experienced Conveyancing Paralegals who are ready to take on greater responsibility

For more experienced candidates, the ability to run your own caseload and deal with client enquiries in your own right is essential.

You should ideally have:

  • Previous experience in residential conveyancing
  • Experience handling sales and purchases independently
  • Experience with, or an interest in developing into, commercial property transactions and leases
  • Strong knowledge of the conveyancing process
  • The ability to manage your own caseload from instruction through to completion
  • Excellent client-care and communication skills
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • The ability to manage competing deadlines and prioritize effectively
  • A commercially minded and proactive approach
  • The confidence to deal directly with clients and other professionals

For a newly qualified solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer, it offers the chance to develop their career with hands-on exposure to both residential transactions and commercial property work.
