Job Details

Are you an experienced residential property/conveyancing lawyer looking for high quality of work AND high quality of life?

Do you want hybrid flexibility and the opportunity to work on £multi-million HNW transactions?


This prestigious law firm was founded on a purely HNW client base and has grown over the last 40 years to become a full-service firm but retains sizeable private client and property teams. The residential property team has an outstanding reputation with top-end work referrers, both locally and via their London office and therefore competes with Top-tier law firms. You will enjoy London-quality work but situated in stunning Cotswold/Gloucestershire locations on a hybrid basis of 1 day per week in the office.

The firm has a friendly and relaxed culture of empowerment and flexibility. The partners are genuinely passionate about their “people first” culture that treats people as people – not just as numbers or revenue generators. Not surprising then that as a consequence of their culture, the firm has a strong track record of successful career development and an unparalleled retention record – only one person has left the firm in the last 10 years (and even that person did not move to another law firm)!

The continuing success of the Residential Property Team and their increasing workflow, means that they have now created a brand-new opportunity for an experienced residential property solicitor to join the team. You will be part of an experienced and friendly team of c16, with you own caseload of high-value property transactions (none less than £1M and ranging up to £MM) but with the support of an experienced workforce around you.

This rare opportunity will appeal to a residential property lawyer from a larger firm who is looking for a more balanced quality of life, without compromising on quality of work or alternatively a proven residential property lawyer from a non top-tier firm who is looking to move their experience up the value chain and work on HNW clients and their properties.

As the ideal candidate for this opportunity, you will:-

  • Be a qualified solicitor with up to 3 years of PQE in residential property.
  • Demonstrate a desire to develop your experience and work on high-value transactions.
  • Have excellent communication and client relationship management skills.
  • Have a strong preference for working in a friendly atmosphere with a genuinely flexible and collegiate culture.

Salary will be according to experience; however, the firm has a track record of successfully recruiting from top-tier law firms – so you will find the reward surprisingly competitive.

Company

Clifton Legal is the legal division of Clifton Search - a specialist search and selection recruitment firm. We are a niche, boutique firm and focus purely on the legal and corporate governance markets. Our primary focus is on opportunities from newly qualified to General Counsel level.

 

We set up Clifton in 2014 to fulfil what we believed was a gap in the market to provide clients and candidates in our core markets with the knowledge and connections of a specialist and experienced recruitment partner allied to a pro-active and integrated approach. In essence we bring the professionalism and targeted networking approach of a search solution but with a functional rather than sector driven model. We augment this with the personal touch, flexibility and proactive rate of response of a traditional contingent recruitment service.

 

The leadership team has c50 years of recruitment experience and as experienced recruiters with a proven track record, we have a deep knowledge and understanding of our markets, a large network of legal and governance professionals and a genuine passion for delivering a professional, honest and quality service to all stakeholders within the recruitment process.

 

We are rigorous in ensuring that we have a thorough understanding of both candidate and client requirements at the outset to ensure the delivery of a well-matched service and a successful campaign for both parties.

 

Our long-standing client base is comprised of large UK, US and European listed multinationals and corporate businesses and spans a wide range of sectors. We operate out of offices in Bristol and London but recruit right across the UK, Europe and the US.

 

Why work with us?

Unlike most recruitment companies we don’t operate with the typical “sales” driven culture that’s common in our sector. This gives us greater independence and objectivity and allows us to focus purely on your agenda and career aspirations and find the right opportunity for you – even if you are not “actively looking” in the market.

Whether you or keen to secure a new opportunity right now or simply keeping an eye on the market for that perfect opportunity, we commit to offer you:

  • Honest, impartial and specialist market advice/intelligence from recruiters with extensive experience.
  • CV appraisal and preparation guidance.
  • Full, in-depth application support throughout the recruitment process from initial approach, interview preparation and feedback, salary negotiation, resignation management – right up to starting your new opportunity.
  • Up to the minute and specific salary and benefits benchmarking relative to your experience, sector and location.
  • Long term career planning and professional development advice.
  • Complete confidentiality and a guarantee that we will never share your CV with any third party without your express knowledge and consent.

If that sounds like the kind of recruitment partner that you would prefer to work with then please do get in touch with one of our directors:
