Description
About The Role
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, ambitious and client-focussed Residential Property Associate or Senior associate to join our successful team in Cambridge.
Our Residential Property team give legal advice on a wide range of non-contentious, residential property matters including sales and purchases, re-mortgages, transfers of equity, voluntary first registrations and the extension of leases.
They work very closely as a team, sharing work and knowledge, in order to meet our client’s high standards.
We pride ourselves on the fantastic level of service we provide to our clients through the bespoke advice and attention to detail that we offer. Getting to know our clients and really zeroing in on their specific needs is central to all that we do. We support every transaction with a dedicated lawyer and a support assistant, who both follow that transaction from start to finish. By keeping our volumes of work to manageable levels, we are proud to complete most transactions much faster than the national average.
We operate our files electronically and working remotely is possible and in some cases encouraged, though we would ask you to be in the office at least 3 days a week (and to factor in the specific needs of the team/firm/clients).
