I’m working with a well-established law firm looking to appoint an experienced Residential Property Partner to help drive the continued growth of its conveyancing offering across Bristol and Somerset.
This is much more than a fee-earning role. They’re looking for someone commercially minded who enjoys networking, building relationships and developing new business, while also supporting and supervising more junior lawyers within the team.
For someone who feels they may have reached a ceiling in their current firm, there is genuine long-term progression here, including the opportunity to work towards future equity partnership.
The role:
- Lead and grow Residential Property work across Bristol and Somerset
- Develop relationships with local agents, referrers and professional contacts
- Supervise and mentor junior lawyers within the team
- Manage your own varied residential conveyancing caseload
- Handle freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity and first registrations
- Maintain strong client relationships and deliver a high level of client care
- Play an active role in business development, networking and wider departmental strategy
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.
