We are a commercially minded, dynamic and entrepreneurial business maintaining the highest level of integrity in all our working relationships. We pride ourselves on service excellence, offering legal expertise and friendly assistance for clients and referrers looking for advice.

We are enjoying huge growth driven by our talented employees; who are passionate and willing to go that extra mile to give excellent service. The ideal individual will want to be part of our success, wants to make a difference, bringing exciting ideas and who aspire to develop themselves.

The Role

Our rapid growth means we are looking for Completions Team Leader. As we continue to grow our business, it is vital that we ensure our clients are happy all the way through the transaction. That’s why we are one of the only law firms that have a Completions team who are responsible for handling all aspects of the deal after exchange up to Completion. This means dealing with clients, lenders and other lawyers, to make sure everything is ready for moving day.

Once Completion has taken place the post-completion requirements will need to be carried out. This involves working with Land Registry, HMRC, mortgage lenders, management companies and also ensuring that the clients receive all their documents at the end of the process. The responsibility to ensure that the correct retentions are kept and that UK Finance Mortgage Lender Handbook guidelines are met is key to ensure the company’s ability to continue to work with mortgage lenders, so is vital to the running of the organisation.

The ideal candidate will have experience in both Completion and Post-Completions. It’s a very fast paced role within a young and enthusiastic team who are looking for a manager and leader to set a great example of efficiency and help the team prioritise their work.
