Ready for a role that could genuinely take you to Partnership?
If you're an established residential property lawyer handling high-value transactions and ready for greater influence, this is an opportunity to step up within a highly regarded regional firm with a strong reputation across the South East.
The firm is looking for a Senior Associate to join its established Tunbridge Wells team, offering the chance to lead by example, shape the department and build a clear pathway towards future Partnership.
The Opportunity
This isn't volume conveyancing. You'll work with high-net-worth clients on premium residential property transactions, with the quality of work and senior responsibility to match.
Your role will include:
- High-value freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
- Complex residential transactions for HNW clients
- Registered and unregistered title matters
- Mentoring junior lawyers and support staff
- Maintaining technical standards and best practice
- Developing client relationships and contributing to the team's growth
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
You'll have the support of an established team and efficient systems, alongside the autonomy to make your mark.
Why This Role?
Partnership is a realistic prospect, making this an excellent opportunity for a senior lawyer who wants more than a lateral move.
You'll join a respected team handling quality work, with the scope to develop your leadership skills, strengthen your client following and play a meaningful role in the department's future.
Hybrid working (likely 2 days p/w in the office), a collaborative culture and a sensible approach to work-life balance, and this offers a compelling next step for an ambitious senior property lawyer.
