Conveyancing Paralegal / Fee Earner Location: Aldgate, London Full-time | Monday to Friday | Office-based Practice Area: Residential Conveyancing My client is a highly established, ambitious and entrepreneurial law firm with a substantial presence across the London legal market and particular strength within property. Following continued growth, an opportunity has arisen for an experienced Conveyancing Paralegal / Fee Earner to join its busy London property department. This is a genuine fee-earning position and not a legal secretarial, administrative or purely supporting paralegal role. The successful individual must possess hands-on conveyancing experience and be capable of taking responsibility for their own portfolio of residential property transactions from initial instruction through to exchange and completion. Whilst the firm provides ongoing training and development, it is looking for somebody who already understands how to progress a conveyancing transaction and can contribute from the outset. Experienced Conveyancing Paralegals, Conveyancers, Property Fee Earners and Conveyancing Executives will all be considered where they can demonstrate genuine file ownership. Managing residential conveyancing transactions from initial instruction through to completion. Reviewing mortgage offers and lender requirements. Liaising directly with clients, estate agents, mortgage lenders, brokers, managing agents, other solicitors and third parties. Identifying potential title, compliance and transactional risks. Ensuring AML, KYC and wider regulatory requirements are satisfied. The fundamental requirement is genuine hands-on conveyancing experience . Previous responsibility for your own residential conveyancing matters. A strong practical understanding of the conveyancing process from instruction to completion. Familiarity with mortgage lender requirements. A sound understanding of AML and compliance requirements. Candidates from a Legal Secretary background without genuine file-management experience will not be appropriate for this appointment. The firm takes a highly commercial approach to business development. An established internal business-development team generates new instructions and relationships which provide a strong flow of work into the legal departments. Fee earners are nevertheless actively encouraged to develop their own professional networks, build relationships with introducers and generate additional instructions. Commission is calculated once the relevant legal invoice has been paid and is paid monthly alongside salary , rather than requiring individuals to wait until year-end for recognition of successfully originated work.
