Remote Legal Executive Conveyancing Job
Update October 21, 2026 We have now filled both vacancies – but our soon to be 40 strong residential conveyancing team continues to grow and therefore we are always happy to look at CVs. 
If you are a legal executive looking for a remote conveyancing job, you will already know how competitive – and often frustrating – the recruitment process can be. Many roles are filtered through agencies, job descriptions can be vague, and genuinely flexible remote positions are rarer than they should be.
At Bonallack & Bishop, we take a more direct and transparent approach. We are looking specifically for experienced legal executives seeking a fully remote residential conveyancing role, with a clear understanding of what the role involves, what we expect, and what you can expect from us.
Interested? Have a confidential chat first
You don’t need to make a formal application to find out more. If you are an experienced residential conveyancer and think the role might suit you, email me directly for an informal and completely confidential conversation. There is no obligation and you do not need to send a CV at this stage.

A Remote Conveyancing Role Built for Legal Executives
We are actively looking for a legal executive (FILEX) or experienced conveyancer to join our well-established residential property team.
This is not a generic vacancy. It is a role designed for someone who:
- Already has solid residential conveyancing experience
- Is comfortable working remotely without supervision – with solid experience of purely remote working
- Wants to be part of a growing, structured and supportive team
- Prefers to focus on quality fee earning work, rather than management responsibilities
We are a CQS accredited firm, with a strong reputation in residential conveyancing and a consistent flow of high-quality work.

What Makes This Remote Conveyancing Job Different?
Many firms advertise “remote” roles that are, in reality, hybrid or heavily supervised. This is genuinely different.
1. Fully Remote Working – Done Properly
This role can be 100% remote, provided you have prior experience of working from home in a legal environment.
You will need to demonstrate that you can:
- Manage your own caseload independently
- Maintain productivity without close supervision
- Communicate effectively with clients and colleagues remotely
We are not looking to “experiment” with remote working – we already know it works when done properly.
Location is genuinely not a problem. Although we are broadly a high street law firm with offices in Wiltshire and Hampshire, we currently have lawyers in Spain and Florida.

2. Strong Structural Support Around You
You will not be working in isolation. You will be part of a 35-strong residential conveyancing team, supported by:
- A dedicated onboarding team
- A specialist post-completion team
- Access to administrative support and systems
- The potential support of up to 2 paralegals (with structured training already in place)
This means you can focus on fee earning and client care, rather than being bogged down in avoidable administrative tasks.
________________________________________
3. A Role Focused on Delivery – Not Management
This position is ideal for a legal executive who enjoys conveyancing work itself, rather than seeking a management or partnership track. To be clear:
- This is not a partner-level role
- There is no immediate management progression requirement
- The focus is on being a high-performing fee earner within a strong team structure
For many experienced legal executives, this is exactly what they want: clarity, stability, and autonomy.

Remote Legal Executive Conveyancing Job – Who This Role Is Ideal For
This remote legal executive conveyancing job is particularly suited to someone who:
- Has at least 3 years’ solid residential conveyancing experience
- Is qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive (FILEX) or has equivalent practical experience
- Has a proven billing record
- Is confident handling a full caseload independently
- Has previously worked in a fully remote legal role
You should also be:
- Friendly and approachable with strong client care skills
- Highly organised with good time management
- Comfortable using case management systems and modern IT tools
- Able to work under pressure and manage multiple transactions
- Detail-focused with a high level of accuracy

Returning to conveyancing after a career break?
If you are an experienced residential conveyancer who has taken a career break, we would be very happy to hear from you. Perhaps you stepped away from conveyancing because of family or caring responsibilities, relocation, or simply because your circumstances changed. If you previously had the experience and confidence to run your own residential conveyancing caseload, a period away from practice should not put you off applying.
We offer fully remote working, together with the support of an established conveyancing team, making this an ideal opportunity for someone looking to return to residential conveyancing without the need for a daily commute. If you are unsure whether your previous experience is sufficiently recent, please get in touch for an informal and confidential conversation.
Experience We Particularly Value
In addition to core conveyancing experience, we are especially interested in candidates who:
- Have experience training or supporting junior staff or paralegals
- Enjoy contributing to team development and improvement
- Are comfortable adapting to efficient, system-driven ways of working
While training experience is not essential, it is a genuine advantage given our structured paralegal development programme.

Our Conveyancing Team
You will be joining one of the most important parts of our firm.
Our residential property department:
- Consists of around 35 team members

- Continues to grow steadily year on year
We place a strong emphasis on:
- Client communication
- Efficiency and consistency
- Team collaboration – even in a remote environment

- Office-based roles in:
- Salisbury
- Andover
- Amesbury
- Fordingbridge
However, if you are applying for a remote role, prior successful home-working experience is essential.
