Are you an experienced Residential Conveyancing Solicitor looking for an opportunity to progress your career within an ambitious, forward-thinking legal business?

At MOV8 Real Estate, we're looking for a talented and commercially minded Senior Solicitor to join our growing Legal Team.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of up to £80,000, depending on experience.

• Opportunities for career progression within a growing legal business.

• A supportive and collaborative Legal Team.

• Modern technology and systems designed to make your working day more efficient.

• The opportunity to develop your leadership and mentoring skills.

• A business that places genuine importance on client care, innovation and continuous improvement.

• The opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping how we deliver legal services.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys managing their own caseload, building strong client relationships and delivering exceptional legal services, while playing an important role in the continued growth of our business.

We're not looking for someone who simply wants to manage files. We want someone who takes pride in their work, values excellent client care and wants to make a genuine difference to the clients and colleagues they work with.

Why Join MOV8?

MOV8 is one of Scotland's most progressive property businesses, bringing estate agency, conveyancing and private client services together under one roof.

We've experienced significant growth over recent years, and we're continuing to invest in our people, technology and services to create an even stronger business for the future.

Joining MOV8 means becoming part of a collaborative and supportive environment where your contribution is recognised, your ideas are valued and your career ambitions are encouraged.

The Role

As a Senior Solicitor, you'll take responsibility for managing a varied residential conveyancing caseload while ensuring our clients receive an exceptional service throughout their property journey.

You'll work closely with colleagues across our Legal and Estate Agency Teams, helping to deliver a seamless experience for clients while supporting the continued development of our legal services.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing a residential conveyancing caseload, including purchases, sales, remortgages and transfers of title.

• Providing clear, practical and commercially focused legal advice to clients.

• Ensuring transactions progress efficiently while maintaining high standards of accuracy, compliance and client care.

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, estate agents, introducers and other professional contacts.

• Supporting and mentoring junior solicitors, paralegals and legal support colleagues where appropriate.

• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, efficiency and the overall client experience.

• Working collaboratively with colleagues to achieve individual, team and wider business objectives.

• Contributing to the continued growth and reputation of MOV8's legal services.

About You

We're looking for someone who combines strong technical conveyancing expertise with a proactive, client-focused and commercially aware approach.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Qualification as a Scottish Solicitor with a current practising certificate.

• Significant experience handling residential conveyancing transactions independently.

• Excellent knowledge of Scottish residential property law and conveyancing procedures.

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities effectively.

• Excellent communication skills and a genuine commitment to outstanding client care.

• Confidence in building relationships with clients, colleagues and professional contacts.

• A positive, solutions-focused approach to challenges.

• An interest in supporting and developing less experienced colleagues.

• The ambition to progress your career within a growing and innovative business.

Experience supervising or mentoring others would be advantageous, although it's not essential.

Above all, we're looking for someone who shares our commitment to delivering excellent service and wants to be part of a business that is continually looking for ways to improve.

A Career, Not Just Another Caseload

We recognise that experienced solicitors have choices when it comes to their careers.

At MOV8, we want to offer more than simply another position managing conveyancing transactions.

We're building a legal business with ambitious plans for the future, and we want talented individuals who are excited by the opportunity to grow alongside us.

Whether you're looking to take on more responsibility, develop your leadership skills or position yourself for future career progression, we'd welcome the opportunity to discuss how MOV8 could support your ambitions.
