Residential Solicitor- Head of Department - #2168811

Head of Property – Liverpool

I'm working with an established law firm looking to bring in an experienced Head of Property to lead and develop its property department.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a mix of hands-on conveyancing, team management and business development, with the chance to play a key role in the department's continued growth.

The Role

• Oversee the day-to-day running of the property team, supporting and managing fee earners.
• Manage your own residential conveyancing caseload from instruction through to completion.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with estate agents, brokers, lenders and clients to generate new business.
• Contribute to departmental business planning, financial performance and wider firm strategy.
• Maintain high standards of client service, file management and compliance.
• Support the development and training of colleagues within the team.

What They're Looking For

• An experienced Residential Property Solicitor, Licensed Conveyancer or CILEX-qualified professional.
• A strong background in residential conveyancing, including freehold, leasehold, registered and unregistered titles.
• Previous experience managing a team or leading a property department.
• A proven ability to develop relationships and generate new business through referrers.
• A commercial mindset, with experience working towards financial targets.
• Strong communication, organisational and leadership skills.

Commercial property experience would be beneficial but isn't essential.

What's on Offer?

• The opportunity to lead and develop an established property department.
• A senior position with genuine scope to influence the team's direction and growth.
• A varied role combining fee earning, leadership and business development.
• A supportive firm with opportunities for further career development.

If you're an experienced conveyancing professional looking for that next step into a Head of Department role, I'd be happy to have a confidential chat and share some further details.
