Residential Property Lawyer

Chandlers Ford

 

 

Who are DG:

 

There’s no place like DG!   We are biased, but we do believe that what we have built is the ultimate team culture experience.  Culture… it’s a recent buzz word which means different things to different people.

 

To share a little bit about our culture, we have 27 behaviours that sit beneath our 3 core values.  Our culture was developed by all team members within DG and we hold ourselves accountable to each other for living and breathing our culture.

 

We spend a good amount of time with colleagues, so it’s important that we not only have a great team ethos, but a work environment that encourages open and honest conversations which is supported by our coaching culture, lifelong learning and development opportunities.

 

Did you know that in November 2024, we won the Hampshire Business Award’s category for commitment to education, training and skills?!   Our entry into this was largely based on the internal learning programmes that we offer at varying stages of our people’s careers.  We believe that everyone who comes to us should have opportunity to experience a full career with us, regardless of their role.

 

 

What is our vision:

 

We want to be the best that we can be and this is achieved not just by having the right support, infrastructure and technology but is achieved by recruiting the right people to join us.  

 

We have plans to grow the firm both organically and through M&A.   However, in doing so, we will never compromise our culture.  Culture sits at the heart of all business decisions, because DG realises that its biggest asset is its team members and their knowledge/experience!

 

 

What is the role doing:

 

The role will be carrying your own varied caseload of residential property matters to include: sale files, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity, new builds and shared ownership.

 

You will work as part of a team and will handle transactions from cradle to grave, with the support of administrators in the team.

 

 

What do we look for:

 

We are looking for a candidate who is able to hit the ground running and carry their own caseload of conveyancing matters.  New Build and Shared Ownership experience is desirable, but can be taught.

 

You’ll be passionate about Residential Conveyancing and you’ll be wanting to deliver a high level of service to your clients.  You will have a willingness and desire to learn!

 

To work at DG, you will want to be part of something bigger than just your team, you’ll want to live and breathe our values & behaviours, you’ll want to work with other teams within the firm, cross-referring work and seeking advice from one another.  You will value and respect all our team members for the work that they do and the part they play in DG reaching its goals and in return, you can expect the same level of respect and trust.

 

Communication and authenticity is of paramount importance, you will be someone who wants to have open and honest conversations.   You will be passionate about helping others and continuing your and their learning and development.  

 

 

What will we offer in return:

 

A competitive salary.  We don’t advertise salary bandings and this is simply for the reason that we do not wish to deter candidates who may not apply otherwise.  We will always be realistic with salary right from the outset and you are free to have an open and honest conversation with our internal recruiter at the very start of the process to ensure that your expectations can be met.

 

We have a host of benefits to include car parking, health cash back scheme, pension scheme, life assurance, bonus scheme, one to one coaching, referral bonuses, social events, free flu vaccinations and other benefits centred around charity.  Our stand-out benefit is our hybrid working policy.   We have no plans to ask people to return to the office full time.  For some roles, there is a need for more office working and we will always discuss this at the outset of the process, so there are no surprises at the end of the process. 

 

We have a number of groups and committees to get involved with such as charities, EDI, Wellbeing, Green and projects.   We are also a social bunch and love to meet up outside of working for bowling, quizzes and our other firm wide events like our annual AGM and Christmas Party.  

 

 

What our team members say:

 

I like working at DG because I feel supported and I know my ideas are valued and considered. I am given the tools to succeed and progress. 

 

I like working at DG because it is a firm that is moving with the times. DG is conscious of the need to keep up to date with technology and are always looking for new tech to make our days better and our jobs easier. DG is a progressive firm and this makes it fun to work for.

 

The culture at DG is very important to everyone too. It is clear that everyone is invested in DG being a great place to work.
