About the Opportunity

Executive Hurdles Recruitment is proud to be supporting a forward-thinking and people-focused law firm based in Stockport, Greater Manchester, with the recruitment of two key positions within their growing legal team.

Our client has built a strong and growing reputation for delivering high-quality legal services to individuals and clients across the region, combining a client-first culture with a genuine commitment to innovation, access to justice, and long-term investment in their people. Based in a newly refurbished office in the heart of Stockport, the firm offers a vibrant and supportive working environment where legal professionals are genuinely valued for their expertise and their ambition.

 

Whether you are an experienced conveyancer looking to manage a high-quality residential caseload, or a criminal defence solicitor seeking a role where your work truly matters, this is an excellent platform to develop your career within a growing, ambitious firm.

 

ROLE 1 — Property Conveyancing Solicitor | £50,000 + Bonus

​

This position is designed for a qualified Solicitor who excels in managing a high-quality, diverse residential caseload. You will handle everything from standard freeholds to complex leaseholds, shared ownership, and new build transactions, taking full responsibility for files from opening through to post-completion.

This opportunity would suit a qualified solicitor with at least one year's experience managing a full residential conveyancing portfolio, who is looking to join a firm with a strong reputation and a collaborative, high-performance culture.

​

Key Responsibilities:

  • Managing a full residential conveyancing caseload end-to-end, from file opening to post-completion, ensuring files are maintained in impeccable order and in line with SLAs, regulatory standards, and statutory requirements

  • Providing clients with clear, bespoke legal advice tailored to their specific transaction

  • Drafting all necessary legal documents and contracts to represent clients' best interests at every stage

  • Dealing with complex legal enquiries by researching previous cases and relevant legislation, proactively identifying and resolving potential risks

  • Acting as the central point of communication between solicitors, mortgage lenders, brokers, and local authorities, managing client expectations through regular, transparent updates

  • Ensuring all files are billed accurately and overseeing the secure and timely transfer of funds upon completion

  • Maintaining full compliance with SRA Rules at all times to protect the firm's reputation and Trustpilot rating

  • Providing supervision, coaching, and support to paralegals, fostering a high-performance culture built on teamwork and exceptional client care

  • Leveraging industry-leading case management systems and property technology to maximise efficiency and client experience

​

What You Will Bring:

  • A qualified Solicitor with at least 1 year's experience managing a full residential conveyancing portfolio from start to finish

  • Proven ability to manage a diverse residential caseload including leaseholds, shared ownership, and new build transactions

  • Strong client care skills and a natural empathy for the home-moving process

  • Resilience under pressure with the ability to meet deadlines without compromising on accuracy

  • A commercial mindset and analytical approach to problem-solving

  • Confidence with case management systems and property technology

 

ROLE 2 — Criminal Duty Solicitor | £70,000 + Bonus

 

This is an excellent opportunity to join a busy and expanding Crime & Regulatory department within a growing law firm. You will handle a varied and rewarding caseload of criminal matters from initial instruction through to conclusion, providing expert advice and representation to clients at all stages of the criminal justice process.

This opportunity would suit a driven criminal solicitor looking to develop their career within a progressive, supportive environment where their contribution is genuinely valued and access to justice sits at the heart of the firm's ethos.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Managing your own caseload of criminal matters independently

  • Advising and taking instructions from clients at police stations, courts, and offices

  • Representing clients at police stations and Magistrates' Courts

  • Conducting advocacy where appropriate

  • Preparing cases for court and briefing counsel when required

  • Managing legal aid applications and compliance requirements

  • Maintaining accurate file management, billing, and case progression

  • Participating in the out-of-hours duty solicitor rota, including police station attendance and Saturday court

 

About You:

  • A qualified Solicitor with experience across Criminal Law

  • Confident managing a caseload independently and effectively

  • Excellent client care and communication skills

  • Organised, reliable, and able to work well under pressure

  • Strong professional and ethical standards throughout

 

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Join a forward-thinking, people-focused law firm with a strong and growing regional reputation

  • Newly refurbished, modern offices in the heart of Stockport, Greater Manchester

  • A vibrant, supportive culture where legal professionals are valued for their expertise and ambition

  • Two distinct opportunities suited to experienced solicitors at different stages of their legal career

  • A firm committed to access to justice, long-term investment in people, and ambitious growth plans

  • Collaborative teams with ongoing support from experienced senior leadership

  • Genuine career progression opportunities and continuous professional development
