Real Estate Compliance Solicitor
- Use your property law expertise – without the pressure of a caseload
- Join a thriving, growing Cheshire law firm where quality comes before billing
- Enjoy a technical, non-fee-earning role with clear progression opportunities
A highly respected and fast-growing regional law firm is looking for an experienced real estate solicitor to join its compliance team in either its Northwich or Nantwich office.
This is a rare opportunity to apply your deep knowledge of property law in a purely technical, non-client-facing role — free from billing targets and caseload pressures. You’ll be a trusted source of expertise for colleagues, helping to manage risk, refine processes, and ensure the smooth handling of complex property transactions.
Over the next two years, you’ll have the chance to establish yourself as a senior figure in the department, contribute to firmwide initiatives, and mentor others — all with a clear pathway to senior associate, head of department, or even partner level.
Who we’re looking for
- Experienced real estate solicitor with strong technical expertise
- Deep understanding of compliance and risk management
- Confident in reviewing and advising on high-risk and complex files
- Able to provide clear, practical guidance to fee-earners
- Supportive, collaborative, and proactive in approach
Salary & Benefits
- £35,000–£45,000 depending on experience
- Hybrid working after probation
- Staggered start/finish options to suit your lifestyle
- Additional holidays and healthcare cash plan
- Friendly, inclusive culture with a buddy system for new starters
- Regular 1:1s and genuine focus on wellbeing
- Career pathway with no ceiling — progress to Senior Associate, HoD, or Partner
