• Leadership Excellence: You champion Laurus' ethos in every client interaction, leading by example to contribute significantly to the development and support of your colleagues in the Property Law team.
• Collaborative Team-Player: Working closely with the Head of our Northcote Road office and fellow lawyers within the team, you will have the opportunity to input to the successful operation of the department, through budgeting, training, mentoring, and ensuring compliance with our high service standards.
• Commercial Acumen: As a seasoned professional, you understand that business development is key. Your skill in winning work, developing referral networks - particularly within the close-knit local community of Clapham and surrounding neighbourhoods - and expanding our client base is essential. Your role is pivotal in supporting Laurus' growth, blending legal proficiency with strategic business development initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage key transactions including residential sales, purchases, and refinancing.
• Drive business development efforts to nurture existing relationships and forge new ones within the local community.
• Oversee and mentor junior lawyers, paralegals and trainees, who will report directly to you, promoting a culture of excellence, compliance and professional development.

What we offer

• A key role at our Northcote Road office, within a dynamic and supportive environment at the heart of the Clapham community.
• A competitive compensation package, with opportunities for professional advancement.
