Head of Conveyancing – Salisbury – £63,000 – Established Regional Firm
We are currently instructed on a senior leadership opportunity within a long-established regional firm, for an experienced Conveyancer with leadership experience to step into a Head of Conveyancing role based in Salisbury.
This is a key strategic hire within a firm that has been advising clients across Wiltshire, Hampshire and the wider South for over two centuries, combining traditional client service values with a modern, full-service offering.
The Firm
The practice operates across multiple offices, with its head office in Salisbury, and provides a broad range of legal services to individuals, businesses and charities.
It has built a reputation locally for:
- Long-standing client relationships and repeat instructions
- A genuinely personalised, ‘whole client’ approach to legal advice
- Delivering high-quality, accessible service across private client, property and commercial work
The Conveyancing team sits at the heart of the firm’s offering, with a steady flow of work derived from strong local connections, estate agents and returning clients.
The Role
This is a leadership position, combining fee‑earning with oversight of the residential property function.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Managing a full residential conveyancing caseload (sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity)
- Supervising and mentoring junior fee earners and support staff
- Driving efficiency, process improvement and service delivery within the team
- Acting as a key point of contact for referrers and longstanding clients
- Contributing to the strategic direction and growth of the department
The Opportunity
- A genuine opportunity to lead and shape a department, not simply inherit a title
- Strong and consistent pipeline of work within an established local market
- A firm with deep roots in the region, offering stability and long‑term career prospects
- Close‑knit, supportive environment with visible leadership and autonomy
Candidate Profile
- 5+ years’ PQE in residential conveyancing (or equivalent experience)
