Job Description
Senior Property & Conveyancing Solicitor n
Commencement: January ****, with flexibility around the exact start date for the right candidate
n
Cutlers The Law Firm is an established law practice located at The Entrance on the NSW Central Coast.
n
We are looking for an experienced
Property and Conveyancing Solicitor
to join our team and take primary responsibility for leading the firm's property and conveyancing practice.
n
This is a senior role for a solicitor who is comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy, managing their own files and clients, supervising support staff, and taking ownership of the day-to-day operation of a busy property practice.
n
The successful candidate will have genuine scope to shape how the property practice operates, including its systems, workflows and client service.
n
The role
n
You will have primary responsibility for the firm's property and conveyancing work, including:
n
residential purchases and sales;
n
off-the-plan and development-related conveyancing;
n
subdivisions and other property development work;
n
commercial property transactions;
n
leases and related property matters;
n
reviewing, drafting and advising on contracts and other property documents;
n
liaising directly with clients, agents, banks, brokers, developers and other solicitors;
n
supervising and working with conveyancing and administrative support staff;
n
managing workflows, deadlines and file progression across the property practice; and
n
helping to refine and improve the firm's property systems and procedures.
n
There is an established flow of property work, so this is not a role where you will be expected to build a practice from nothing.
n
The intention is for the successful candidate to lead the property and conveyancing practice with substantial autonomy, rather than simply assisting another solicitor who retains day-to-day control of the area.
n




The firm's broader practice includes wills and estate planning, deceased estates, contested estates and family provision claims, family law, notarial work, and selected commercial and civil matters.
n
About you
n
We would particularly like to hear from you if you:
n
are admitted as an Australian legal practitioner and hold, or are eligible to hold, a NSW practising certificate;
n
have strong experience in NSW conveyancing and property law;
n
are confident managing files from initial instructions through to completion;
n
are comfortable taking primary responsibility for a practice area;
n
have strong drafting, communication and client-management skills;
n
are commercially minded and able to exercise sound judgment independently;
n
are organised and able to manage competing deadlines and workflows;
n
are comfortable supervising or working closely with support staff; and
n
enjoy working as part of a small, collaborative team.
n
Experience with LEAP and InfoTrack would be highly regarded, but is not essential.
n
Familiarity with the Firm's other areas of practice would also be an advantage, although this is not essential.
n
We are open to candidates at different levels of seniority, although the successful applicant will need to be capable of operating with a significant degree of independence. The right person may already be leading a property practice or may be ready to step into that level of responsibility.
n
What we offer
n
Leadership of an established property and conveyancing practice.
n
An existing client and referral base.
n
Significant autonomy over your files and day-to-day practice.
n
The prospect to shape systems, workflows and the future direction of the property practice.
n
Direct access to clients and interesting property work.
n
Support from experienced administrative staff.
n
A friendly, practical and collaborative working environment.
n
Applications will be treated confidentially.
