Conveyancing Solicitor Team Leader

Supervising Solicitor - Conveyancing

Manchester | Permanent

I'm currently working on an exciting opportunity for an experienced Supervising Solicitor to join a growing Property team in Manchester.

This is a senior position combining fee earning, technical legal oversight and team supervision, with a particular focus on Mortgagee in Possession (MiP) conveyancing.

You'll play a key role in maintaining high standards of legal quality, compliance and client service, whilst providing technical guidance and support to the wider conveyancing team.

The Role

You'll be responsible for:

• Providing legal supervision and technical oversight across the Mortgagee in Possession conveyancing team
• Managing your own caseload of complex and higher-risk conveyancing matters
• Carrying out file reviews and supporting quality assurance and compliance
• Acting as the key escalation point for complex technical and legal queries
• Identifying and managing legal and operational risks
• Keeping the team up to date with relevant legal and regulatory developments
• Coaching, mentoring and developing fee earners and case handlers
• Supporting improvements to processes, controls and overall service delivery
• Building strong relationships with clients, lenders, asset managers and internal stakeholders
• Ensuring matters are handled in line with SRA requirements, client expectations and professional standards

About You

You'll be a qualified Solicitor with a current practising certificate and have significant conveyancing experience, ideally including Mortgagee in Possession work.

You'll also need:

• Strong technical knowledge of residential property and conveyancing
• Good understanding of title investigation and HM Land Registry processes
• Experience supervising or providing technical support to other legal professionals
• Experience with file reviews, quality assurance and legal risk
• Strong understanding of SRA requirements and professional obligations
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to make sound legal decisions and provide commercially focused solutions
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to balance supervision with your own caseload
• Experience coaching, mentoring or developing colleagues

Experience within a high-volume conveyancing environment, working with lenders, asset management companies or receivers would be particularly beneficial.

Why consider the role?

This is a great opportunity for an experienced conveyancing solicitor who wants to move beyond purely fee earning and take on a genuine technical leadership and supervisory position, whilst remaining hands-on with a personal caseload.

You'll have the opportunity to influence legal quality, develop colleagues and contribute to how the wider conveyancing function operates.
