JOB TYPE: Full-Time, Permanent
WHATS ON OFFER

Clear route to launching and owning your own SRA-regulated ABS law firm

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
This opportunity has been structured to remove the typical barriers associated with launching a law firm, while retaining the long-term rewards of ownership.
One of the founders operates an established and successful finance brokerage, generating a consistent volume of high-quality client enquiries. This creates a reliable pipeline of conveyancing work from day one, with additional opportunities to enhance client value through services such as estate planning and will writing.
To enable an immediate start, the practice will initially operate under an established platform law firm, allowing you to trade from the outset with full regulatory compliance and without the delays of authorisation.
Alongside this, there is a clear and structured plan to transition the business into a fully independent, SRA-regulated ABS law firm.
This creates a two-stage model:
Stage 1: Immediate launch with income, infrastructure and compliance in place
Stage 2: Transition to your own authorised firm with equity, control and long-term value
As the Founding Partner / Head of Conveyancing you will play a central role in shaping the firms strategy, service offering, pricing and growth.
WORKING ARRANGEMENT
As the Founding Partner / Head of Conveyancing you will initially be based in the Exeter office for a few weeks, working closely with the executive team to establish the foundations of the practice.
This includes setting up processes, systems, workflows and the overall client journey, as well as aligning on the long-term commercial and strategic direction of the firm.
Once established, the role will transition to a more flexible remote working model, with monthly visits to Exeter for strategic meetings and leadership planning.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the Founding Partner / Head of Conveyancing you will :
Lead and develop the conveyancing function within the firm
Manage and deliver a range of residential property transactions
Help design and implement operational processes and service standards
Contribute to business strategy, growth and team development
Support the transition to an independent ABS law firm
Build and lead a high-performing conveyancing team over time
