Are you a confident, self-driven Conveyancer or Residential Property Lawyer ready to take the next step in your career with a forward-thinking, fast-growing firm? We’re looking for an experienced Residential Property professional to help lead and develop our residential property offering in our central region. This is a key leadership role, responsible for growing the practice and mentoring a team of lawyers across our central region offices — with the opportunity to shape the future of the department and make a real impact.
