PARALEGALS – we take paralegal training very seriously and regularly take on paralegals as part of our Accelerated Development Programme. Click here for more details of our law graduate paralegal scheme. Regardless of whether we have any current paralegal job vacancies, we are always keen to hear from bright enthusiastic LLB and LPC graduates who are looking for entry-level local legal jobs and a long-term legal career – and who live near to one of our four branch offices.
REMOTE WORKERS – please note that while some of our vacancies are entirely suitable for remote lawyers, we will only consider applications for these legal jobs from candidates who have already had experience of purely home working for law firms.
Residential Conveyancer – Salisbury, Andover, Amesbury or Fordingbridge offices – FULLY REMOTE WORKING AVAILABLE
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated lawyer to join our fast growing CQS accredited residential property team.
This is another brand-new role necessary to cope with the increasing amount of work we are generating from happy clients and referrers.
So, if you are a confident, friendly and approachable conveyancer with excellent communication skills, we want to hear from you.
The successful candidate
The right candidate will have:
- at least 3 years’ solid experience of residential conveyancing – either as a FILEX or Licensed Conveyancer, although we are happy to consider experienced candidates without legal qualifications
- great people skills and will be an enthusiastic team player
- good organisational, time management and IT skills
the ability to multi-task under pressure - a keen eye for detail
- the confidence and the ability to react to change whilst working within a pressurised environment
- excellent standards of client care and great communication skills
- a history of strong billing
- a desire and the ability to help in the growth of the property department
The job would not be suitable for a partner level candidate or solicitor.
Furthermore there is no prospect of a management role for the successful candidate in the residential conveyancing team for the foreseeable future.
Location
Remote working is available, as is hybrid working or being based at any one of our 4 branch offices – Salisbury, Andover, Amesbury and Fordingbridge.
Remote experience required
Please note that while this particular vacancy is entirely suitable for a remote lawyer, we will only consider applications from remote candidates who have solid experience of purely home working for law firms and who are able to work without any direct supervision.
The team?
Overall, you will be part of our 30 strong property team.
You will have the support of both our specialist onboarding and post completion teams, and in addition there is a possibility of having a dedicated paralegal for you. But please note, if that is the case, the paralegal is likely to be an inexperienced law graduate – so an enthusiasm to assist with their training is important. However we do already have a structured and highly successful fast track training programme for our conveyancing paralegals.
Salary?
Market rate, dependent on the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience

Consultant Fee-Sharing Civil/Commercial Litigation Lawyer – fully remote working available
We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced lawyer to work fully remotely, or on a hybrid basis, at 1 of our offices in Wiltshire and Hampshire, on a part time fee sharing consultancy basis.
The job is suitable for solicitors or legal executives who are able to run files without supervision. Currently we have 80 staff, and you will be working alongside our existing dispute resolution team.
So, if you are a confident, well-presented, friendly and approachable lawyer with excellent communication skills, we want to hear from you.
The successful candidate
The right candidate will have:
- at least 4 years’ relevant and solid experience of High Street dispute resolution work in England and Wales
- a stable CV, with lengthy periods with one or more firms. We will not consider candidates who regularly move from one position to another
- great people skills and will be an enthusiastic team player
- good organisational, time management and IT skills
- the ability to multi-task under pressure
- a keen eye for detail
- the confidence and the ability to react to change whilst working within a pressurised environment
- excellent standards of client care and great communication skills
Your work
We already have 3 litigators and an employment lawyer who handle all of our property disputes, contested probate and employment work, as well as a separate personal injury/medical negligence team. However we are looking for a consultant to assist us with other areas of litigation.
We are predominantly a private client firm but we do some commercial work. The areas of litigation we potentially need help with our are the areas not covered by the lawyers as mentioned before. This is likely to be primarily general High Street civil and commercial litigation and in particular professional negligence, and disputes between directors shareholders and partnerships.
Continue working for other law firms
We have no objection to the successful candidates working for other firms, or as an independent freelancer, in addition to these roles with us.
Our position
We are a successful mid-sized and growing law firm.
We already have plenty of experience of making these kind of arrangements work. Although we remain essentially a High Street firm, we have numerous lawyers who work fully remotely – as far afield as Shrewsbury, the Isle of Wight, Spain and Florida!
And equally, although the majority of our staff are salaried, we do have a number of consultant lawyers already working on fee share consultancy arrangements – which we have successfully run for many years.
Fee sharing
The offer is very simple – a 50-50 split, with the work done under our indemnity insurance.
