Residential Property Solicitor – Interim Assignment (Remote)
4–6 month contract with potential for permanent conversion | 4+ PQE
We’ve been instructed by a modern, SRA-regulated law firm—with a fully digital operational model—to appoint two experienced Residential Property Solicitors on an interim basis.
About the Opportunity
- Start date: ASAP (Ideally next week).
- Duration: Initial 4–6 months assignable, with scope for permanent conversion if the right candidate is selected.
- Flexible working: Remote with 100% work-from-anywhere within the UK support.
- Ideal for experienced lawyers seeking high-quality fee-earning work without transactional overheads—paralegals and specialist teams handle exchanges, completions, and client onboarding.
Key Responsibilities
Handling an independent caseload of residential property transactions, balancing freehold and leasehold matters.
- Reviewing and advising on contracts, legal queries, and client needs.
- Signing off files prior to exchange (technical review, sound judgement).
- Advocating with commercial pragmatism, with strong client communication at core.
- No handling of exchanges, completions, or client onboarding—specialised teams own those stages.
