Job Details

A modern practice with in depth market penetration across the South of England, with numerous high street locations and a clear and ambitious strategic plan for growth are seeking ambitious and focused career minded LPC graduates to join their team.

An opportunity to become part of the established Residential Property team in the vibrant Chiswick office has arisen. Supporting the existing fee earners within an existing friendly legal support team, the firm has great focus on training and promoting from within and you will not be short of work or opportunity to build upon your experience to date. There is a great mix of extensive expertise matched with ambitious individuals building their professional experience.

As an individual you should ideally already have acquired a good general understanding of the Conveyancing process. You should be commercially aware and understand the demands of working in a busy and vibrant Residential Conveyancing team with a flexible and focused approach to ensuring that time sensitive caseloads can effectively be supported and concluded. If you know your way around a conveyancing file that would be seen as incredibly desirable but not essential. This would be a very good opportunity for you to further your own career and build upon your existing skill set.

The office benefits from an excellent location as far as accessibility to transportation (close the Chiswick Park), local amenities and post work socialising opportunities. The firm promotes a professional yet open approach with a genuine team ethic and understanding of each individual's responsibilities and endeavours to provide as much support as they can to each other.

This would suit a recent LPC graduate who is looking to kick start their career in Residential Property Law with the ambition to obtaining a Training Contract at one of South England's largest legal firms.

The salary on offer is £16,500 however, a review would be conducted after 12 months including the opportunity to obtain a genuine Training Contract.
