I'm currently working on an exciting opportunity for an experienced Supervising Solicitor to join a growing Property team in Manchester.
This is a senior position combining fee earning, technical legal oversight and team supervision, with a particular focus on Mortgagee in Possession (MiP) conveyancing.
You'll play a key role in maintaining high standards of legal quality, compliance and client service, whilst providing technical guidance and support to the wider conveyancing team.
The Role
You'll be responsible for:
- Providing legal supervision and technical oversight across the Mortgagee in Possession conveyancing team
- Managing your own caseload of complex and higher-risk conveyancing matters
- Carrying out file reviews and supporting quality assurance and compliance
- Acting as the key escalation point for complex technical and legal queries
- Identifying and managing legal and operational risks
- Keeping the team up to date with relevant legal and regulatory developments
- Coaching, mentoring and developing fee earners and case handlers
- Supporting improvements to processes, controls and overall service delivery
- Building strong relationships with clients, lenders, asset managers and internal stakeholders
- Ensuring matters are handled in line with SRA requirements, client expectations and professional standards
About You
You'll be a qualified Solicitor with a current practising certificate and have significant conveyancing experience, ideally including Mortgagee in Possession work.
You'll also need:
- Strong technical knowledge of residential property and conveyancing
- Good understanding of title investigation and HM Land Registry processes
- Experience supervising or providing technical support to other legal professionals
- Experience with file reviews, quality assurance and legal risk
- Strong understanding of SRA requirements and professional obligations
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- The ability to make sound legal decisions and provide commercially focused solutions
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to balance supervision with your own caseload
- Experience coaching, mentoring or developing colleagues
Experience within a high-volume conveyancing environment, working with lenders, asset management companies or receivers would be particularly beneficial.
Why consider the role?
This is a great opportunity for an experienced conveyancing solicitor who wants to move beyond purely fee earning and take on a genuine technical leadership and supervisory position, whilst remaining hands-on with a personal caseload.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence legal quality, develop colleagues and contribute to how the wider conveyancing function operates.
