Head of Conveyancing & COLP | East Lancashire

A growing and ambitious residential conveyancing practice is seeking an experienced Head of Conveyancing & Compliance Officer for Legal Practice (COLP) to lead the next phase of its development.

Following a recent restructure and significant investment in the conveyancing department, the firm is looking for a senior solicitor who can combine strong technical expertise with leadership, compliance oversight and a genuine desire to help shape the future of the business.

This opportunity represents a rare chance to step into a highly visible leadership role with real influence across the firm.

This is not a role for someone looking simply to maintain an existing department. The successful candidate will play a central role in developing and growing the conveyancing function, supported by an engaged leadership team that is fully committed to investment and long-term growth.

Role Summary:

  • Combined Head of Conveyancing & COLP role (Compliance Officer for Legal Practice)
  • Significant influence across the business
  • Opportunity to shape compliance, governance and best practice
  • Strong support from senior leadership and the Board
  • Investment in people, systems and infrastructure
  • Lead and develop a growing conveyancing team
  • Flexible approach for the right individual
  • Genuine opportunity to leave your mark on a growing firm

About You:

You’ll ideally have:

  • A strong background in residential conveyancing
  • Previous management or supervisory experience
  • Existing COLP experience
  • Strong compliance, risk management and regulatory awareness
  • A collaborative and commercially minded approach
  • The ambition to play a key role in a firm’s growth journey

Whether you’re already operating as a COLP or are a senior conveyancing solicitor ready to step into a broader leadership and compliance-focused role, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.
