About Us & The Culture

We operate a high-energy, fast-paced residential property practice in Norwich. It is a busy, intense environment where no two days are the same—but you will never walk alone. We pride ourselves on a culture where everyone backs each other up, challenges are tackled together, and successes are shared.

We work on a dedicated 1:1 model, pairing one Paralegal directly to work 1:1 with a Solicitor. This means you won't get lost in a massive pool; you will receive direct support, high-level exposure, and a clear, transparent pathway to progress your legal career.

The Role

We are looking for an outgoing, motivated, and eager-to-learn Residential Conveyancing Paralegal to join our close-knit team. Working 1:1 with a Solicitor, you will be the engine room of your dedicated pod, running live files alongside your Solicitor from initial instruction through to post-completion, while also acting as a friendly, confident voice on our main office telephone line for incoming client calls.

Key Responsibilities:

1:1 Solicitor Support: Work side-by-side on a 1:1 basis with your designated Solicitor to manage, progress, and execute a varied residential conveyancing caseload.
Client & Third-Party Interaction: Act as a key contact for clients, estate agents, lenders, and third parties, delivering exceptional service and clear updates.
First Line of Contact: Handle incoming mainline phone calls for the firm in an outgoing, professional, and helpful manner.
File Management & Documentation: Prepare contract packs for sales, request pre-assignment packs/mortgage redemption statements, order property and Land Registry searches, progress enquiries, and draft reports.
Administrative & Systems Control: Manage post, update case management/ledger systems, and maintain strict compliance and company policy standards.

What We Are Looking For

Experience: A minimum of 1 year’s hands-on experience within a residential conveyancing department (pre-instruction to post-completion).
Mindset: Outgoing, highly motivated, adaptable, and genuinely hungry to learn and develop your legal skill set.
Team-First Ethos: A natural team player who thrives in a collaborative, supportive environment and looks out for colleagues during peak periods.
Work Ethic: Strong attention to detail, exceptional time management, and the ability to stay focused under pressure in a fast-moving office.

Why Join Us? (Benefits & Perks)

1:1 Mentorship & Direct Exposure: Work 1:1 with an experienced Solicitor, gaining hands-on training and mentorship that accelerates your professional development.
Clear Career Progression: Structured, visible pathways for career growth—we actively invest in pushing our paralegals forward.
