Location: Central Region (Cardiff, Penarth, Bridgend, Porthcawl & Brecon) – travel between offices required
Hours: Full- time , Hybrid Working

Do you have the leadership, technical expertise and commercial acumen to shape the future of a growing residential property team? At Redkite Solicitors, we’re seeking an experienced and driven Residential Property Partner to lead our Central Residential Property Team across multiple offices.

Redkite Solicitors has been trusted to provide exceptional legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses since 1898. As a progressive, full-service law firm, we’re driven by growth and innovation, continuously expanding our reach to meet the diverse needs of our clients. With nearly 300 dedicated professionals, we’re proud to be recognised as an employer of choice, with a number of our lawyers recognised in both Legal 500 and Chambers, reflecting the strength and quality of our expertise. Our ongoing commitment to excellence and expansion ensures Redkite remains at the forefront of the legal sector.

Based across our Central Region offices, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Residential Property Partner to join the team on a full-time, permanent contract. You’ll work closely with colleagues across offices to deliver high-quality residential property services, team leadership and strategic development.

Candidates should be aware that their first day of employment may be based at an alternative Redkite office for group onboarding. A willingness to travel and spend the day away from your usual place of work is therefore required.

• Build and maintain relationships with clients, introducers and referrers to support business development and retention.
  

• Oversee post-completion processes to ensure regulatory compliance and efficient transaction closure.
  

• Identify operational improvements and implement workflow or case management enhancements.
  

• Collaborate with senior management to deliver strategic growth plans and financial objectives.
