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)
• Are confident managing their own caseload and supervising others
• Have an interest in stepping into, or further developing within, a Head of Department role
• Bring a commercial and client-focused mindset

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Conveyancer seeking a clear step into leadership within a respected regional firm, with the platform to make a tangible impact.
