About Lawhive:

We’re on a mission to make sure everyone has access to the law.

Lawhive is an online platform for consumers and small businesses to get legal help for a fraction of the cost of a law firm. Our platform combines regulated human lawyers collaborating alongside the world’s first AI lawyer, specifically built for consumer legal work.

Equal access to the law is one of the biggest and most pressing unsolved problems in society today. We’re passionate about leveling the playing field and believe access to the law should be a basic utility in society.

Our AI lawyer, Lawrence, is built on top of our own fine tuned LLM and recently passed the UK’s bar exam equivalent.

We’re backed by some of the top US and UK VC funds including Google Ventures, Balderton Capital and TQ Ventures. We recently secured a $40M Series A funding round to facilitate international expansion and to grow our team, representing one of the five largest Series A rounds in Europe for 2024.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced residential conveyancing lawyer to join our team as a Team Lead and supervisor. This role focuses on providing supervision and oversight across a range of conveyancing matters - focusing on matters involving mortgages and acting for lenders, supporting our consultant lawyers and case handlers to deliver high-quality work and excellent client outcomes at pace.

You will play a key role in ensuring files progress smoothly, compliance standards are maintained, and complex issues are proactively resolved to enable successful and timely completions.

Note: We operate in a fast-paced environment and with a high volume of cases; this role is ideal for an independent individual who can manage tight deadlines.

Responsibilities

• Supervision & Support: Provide expert guidance and oversight for residential conveyancing transactions, supporting less experienced consultants and case handlers to ensure consistent standards.

• Compliance & Risk Management: Ensure strict adherence to Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) rules, maintain accurate records, and conduct initial file reviews, audits, and risk assessments to identify and mitigate risks, ensuring compliance with Anti-Money Laundering and client care standards.

• Operational Excellence: Oversee daily operations, ensuring all transactions progress within Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and proactively resolve issues to facilitate smooth completions.

• Quality Assurance: Review and sign off key documentation and pre-completion packs, ensuring quality and compliance before submission to lenders or other parties.

• Stakeholder Liaison & Advice: Work closely with Lawhive consultants and liaise effectively with clients, estate agents, lenders, and other solicitors. Provide pragmatic, solutions-oriented legal advice on complex or challenging files.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in residential conveyancing, including a minimum of 2 years in a supervisory capacity (e.g., team leader, senior conveyancer).

• Extensive experience representing lenders and a thorough understanding of their requirements.

• Proactive and solutions-oriented with strong problem-solving abilities.

• Exceptional attention to detail and communication skills.
