Legal Jobs

Burley Geach's Residential Property team was nominated for Property Law Team of the Year at the Surrey Law Society Legal Awards 2025. The firm is CQS accredited and has been doing property work across Hampshire and Surrey for over a hundred years. This is the team you would be joining. The role is based in the Liphook office, working alongside an experienced conveyancing fee earner. It is a non-fee-earning support position, but you will be close to the full lifecycle of residential property matters: file opening, compliance, client and third party liaison, drafting, completions, post-completion, Land Registry applications and requisitions. You will also prepare financial documentation, review ledgers, take client instructions and manage diary. This is not an admin-only role and it is not a volume conveyancing desk. Burley Geach's support staff sit within their departments, not in a central pool, so you are part of the property team, not separate from it. The matters are varied: freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity, new builds and lease extensions. The role would suit someone already working in residential conveyancing support who wants more substance and closer involvement in live matters. It could also suit an experienced legal secretary looking to move into a paralegal title. There is a real precedent for that here: one member of the team started as a secretary, developed through paralegal responsibilities over two decades, and is now training to qualify as a Licensed Conveyancer while managing residential property work under supervision. You will need previous experience in a residential conveyancing department, a solid understanding of the property transaction process, confidence with time-sensitive work, and the ability to communicate clearly with clients, agents and lenders. Proficiency with Microsoft Office is expected. Please express your interest in this role below, with LawBoard.

Conveyancing Paralegal Lee-on-the-Solent, in-person. £28,000 to £35,000 depending on experience A support role in a CQS-accredited residential team, based at the firm's Lee office on the High Street. Wyeth & Paul is a boutique South Coast law firm with offices in Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent. Owner-run by its three Heads of Department. Lexcel, CQS, Lifetime Lawyers and STEP accredited within year one. You'd be joining the conveyancing team under Andrew Paul, Head of Conveyancing, working day-to-day as part of an experienced team. The work covers the full support span of a residential transaction: opening files, ID checks, search ordering, Land Registry filings, drafting standard correspondence, post-completion work, and helping fee-earners keep their files moving. In a smaller office you'd see more of the transaction than you would in a larger setting. This is for you if: - You have conveyancing experience as a paralegal or assistant, or strong administrative experience and a clear interest in property law - You're organised, careful with detail, and comfortable picking up the phone to clients, agents and lenders - You're looking for a place to develop, with a route towards more responsibility over time - You can commit to working from the Lee office full-time The honest part. This is a fully in-person role at the Lee-on-the-Solent office. It's a small team, so reliability and willingness to help across the workload matter as much as technical skill. Smaller offices teach faster. You see more of the transaction, more of the client, and more of the people running the file. If that suits, apply via the Wyeth & Paul page using your LawBoard profile.

Family Law Paralegal Gosport, in-person. £26,000 to £32,000 depending on experience A fantastic early-career role in a department the firm is actively rebuilding. The right person helps shape what family law looks like at Wyeth & Paul. Wyeth & Paul is a boutique South Coast law firm with offices in Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent. Owner-run by its three Heads of Department. Lexcel, CQS, Lifetime Lawyers and STEP accredited within year one. The role sits within the Crime and Civil Litigation department under Theresa Holden, with family law as the firm's stated growth area. This is rare: a paralegal joining at the point where there's actual room to build a practice rather than slot into someone else's. The work covers divorce and separation, financial matters, and child arrangements, with the scope to develop your remit over time as the department grows. You'd be supported by Theresa, with assistant cover from the wider litigation team. This is for you if: - You have meaningful family law experience as a paralegal, ideally with exposure to divorce, financial remedy and children matters - You want to take ownership of files appropriate to your level rather than process work - You're interested in being part of how a department gets built, not just staffed - You're settled on the South Coast and looking for somewhere to grow into The honest part. This is a fully in-person role at the Gosport office. The department is being built, which means real opportunity but also real expectation that you'll take initiative. Most paralegal roles ask you to sit inside an established department and learn its rhythm. This one asks you to help set the rhythm. The full picture of the firm and the role sits on the Wyeth & Paul page, and you can apply with your LawBoard profile.

Litigation Lawyer, 3+ PQE. Gosport, in-person £55,000 to £62,000 depending on experience A hybrid civil litigation role with contested wills and probate exposure, sitting alongside the Head of Crime and Civil Litigation. Wyeth & Paul is a boutique South Coast law firm with offices in Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent. Owner-run by its three Heads of Department that earned Lexcel, CQS, Lifetime Lawyers and STEP accredited within year one. You'd report to Theresa Holden, the firm's Head of Crime and Civil Litigation. The work is mixed and unusual for a firm this size. Civil litigation across small claims, landlord and tenant disputes, contractual disagreements, with regular touch-points into contested probate work alongside Roz Wyeth's department. Most firms ask you to pick a lane. Here you'd genuinely use both sides of your experience. This is for you if: - You have 3+ years PQE in civil litigation as a Solicitor or CILEX - You have working knowledge of contested wills or contentious probate (or want to develop it properly) - You're happy carrying your own caseload and being the person clients call back - You like variety more than you like specialisation The honest part. This is a fully in-person role at the Gosport office. Court attendance and client meetings are part of the work. This is a role most boutique firms can't offer because they don't have the contested probate work to support it. Wyeth & Paul does. You can apply to this role at Wyeth & Paul with your LawBoard profile.

Senior Wills, Trusts and Probate Lawyer Gosport, in-person. £58,000 to £68,000 depending on experience A senior private client role alongside a TEP-qualified Head of Department with a decade of established Gosport client relationships. Wyeth & Paul is a boutique South Coast law firm with offices in Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent. Owner-run by its three Heads of Department. Lexcel, CQS, Lifetime Lawyers and STEP accredited within year one. You'd be working directly with Roz Wyeth, TEP, the firm's Head of Wills, Trusts and Probate. Roz has built her practice in Gosport over more than a decade and is a full member of STEP and Lifetime Lawyers, as well as a Dementia Friend. The work covers will drafting, estate administration, probate (including complex and contested matters), trusts, lasting powers of attorney, and advice for elderly and vulnerable clients. The firm acts for many multi-generational families, so the caseload mixes new instructions with long-standing relationships. This is for you if: - You have 5+ years of post-qualification private client experience, ideally with progress towards or completion of STEP - You can manage estates and compliance independently, including more complex matters - You want to be the senior name clients ask for, not the second name on the file - You take the elderly and vulnerable client work seriously and want to do it properly The honest part. This is a fully in-person role at the Gosport office, with occasional home visits to clients where appropriate. The firm expects senior fee-earners to be visible in the local community. The firm earned its STEP and Lifetime Lawyers credentials early because the work has always been done properly. The right hire continues that, with their own clients and their own profile inside it. Apply with your LawBoard profile.

Senior Conveyancer. Gosport, in-person. £52,000 to £62,000 (depending on experience) A senior fee-earner role in a CQS-accredited residential team, working alongside the firm's co-founder. Wyeth & Paul is a boutique South Coast law firm with offices in Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent. Owner-run by its three Heads of Department. Lexcel, CQS, Lifetime Lawyers and STEP accredited within year one. You'd be joining the conveyancing team led by Andrew Paul, the firm's Head of Conveyancing and co-founder. Around you sit a Senior Chartered Legal Executive, a Conveyancing Associate and three assistants across the two offices. The work is residential property: freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, transfers of equity, remortgages, the full mix of files a coastal Hampshire practice handles. You'd run your own caseload from instruction to completion, with PA and assistant support behind you. Local estate agent and lender relationships are a real part of the role. This is for you if: You have at least 5 years of residential conveyancing experience as a Solicitor, FCILEX or Licensed Conveyancer You're confident running a senior caseload independently and can supervise less experienced colleagues You want to build your own profile in Gosport, Lee, Fareham or Portsmouth, not stay invisible inside a regional machine You're comfortable being known to clients, agents and lenders by name The honest part. This is a fully in-person role at the Gosport office. The firm expects fee-earners to participate in client networking and local relationship building. Hybrid is not on offer. A senior seat in a small team, in a firm that has its standards on paper and the people behind them in the building. If that's the move you've been waiting for, apply using your LawBoard profile.
