RL Law Ltd is building its legal team. We are hiring experienced residential conveyancers to run their own caseloads alongside our Head of Conveyancing, Piers King, and our founding lawyers. This is a chance to join an early stage firm and build a career as it grows.
About Us
Residential conveyancing in the UK is slow and opaque. Transactions take 150+ days and lawyers spend nearly half their time chasing other stakeholders instead of progressing matters.
RL Law Ltd is a start‑up law firm authorised by the SRA. We combine senior solicitors with technology to make conveyancing more efficient and transparent, removing administrative work and speeding up transactions. Our aim is for lawyers to spend their time on legal judgement rather than administration.
The Role
You will join RL Law as a Senior Associate. This is a hands‑on role in a small, early stage team. You will run your own caseload with limited supervision, working to the standards, workflows and precedents set by Piers and the founding lawyers, and improving them as you go.
You will also work closely with the Head of Data and our software engineers on the firm’s proprietary case management system. What you see on live files feeds straight into what gets built.
We are a small team based in Paddington building a firm and a product together, so time together in the office matters to us. We aim to be there around three or four days a week, with flexibility for the realities of busy lives.
Key Responsibilities
- Run your own caseload of residential matters, including complex and higher value files.
- Work with the team to design and improve the firm’s workflows, precedents and risk controls.
- Take part in peer file reviews and quality checks, spotting recurring issues early.
- Use our AI tools and case management system on live files and check outputs critically.
- Give practical feedback that shapes how the technology develops.
- Support the Head of Conveyancing with lender panel requirements and relationships.
- Build strong client and referral partner relationships that bring repeat work.
- Help train and supervise junior solicitors and support staff as the team grows.
About You
Essential
- Qualified solicitor in England & Wales with a current practising certificate and 4+ years’ PQE.
- Comfortable using technology, and willing to give constructive feedback on how it performs.
- Confident dealing directly with clients, estate agents and referral partners.
Desirable
- Experience of new build transactions and the Building Safety Act 2022.
- Familiarity with the requirements of the Conveyancing Quality Scheme.
- Experience using CMS, or an interest in how AI can support legal work.
- Experience supervising and training others.
What We Offer
- Real influence over how we do conveyancing and how technology develops.
- A team of senior lawyers, backed by technology built around how conveyancers work.
- A clear route to supervision and team leadership as the firm grows.
- 25 days’ holiday per year.
