Residential Property Partner

Residential Property Partner/Senior Fee Earner | Dorking

The Opportunity

• This is a partnership opening within a long-established Surrey firm where residential property sits at the heart of the practice, not on the sidelines. Conveyancing here is a core service with consistent demand, strong local roots and influence within the firm.

• The role suits a senior residential property lawyer who wants visibility, autonomy and a clear route into partnership, either immediately or following a short bedding-in period, depending on experience.

The Work

• You would oversee a broad, high-quality residential caseload, covering sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity and new-build transactions, managing matters end-to-end from instruction through to post-completion.

• The work goes beyond pure volume conveyancing, with exposure to more nuanced title issues, landed and agricultural property, easements and complex chains, reflecting the firm's long-standing client base and regional footprint.

• Client care is central to how the team operates, with an emphasis on clear communication, practical problem-solving and keeping clients and referrers informed throughout the transaction.

The Team & Platform

• You would be joining a CQS-accredited residential property team that is well resourced, process-driven and known locally for its clarity and reliability.

• The firm operates from multiple Surrey offices, giving access to a steady flow of work, strong estate agent relationships and repeat private client instructions.

• There is real scope to shape how the residential offering develops, from supervision and mentoring of junior lawyers to influencing systems, service delivery and growth.

Partnership & Progression

• This role is about more than fee-earning. You would be expected to play a visible role in business development, strengthening referrer relationships and continuing to build the firm's profile in the local market.

• For the right individual, this is an opportunity to step into partnership within a stable, respected firm that values long-term relationships, both with clients and internally.

Why This Role Makes Sense

• This offers scale, variety and influence without the pressure or culture of a volume-only model.

• It combines high-quality residential work with a Surrey lifestyle, strong local networks and the chance to build something lasting within an established firm.
