Licensed conveyancer : Employers and vacancy sources

The number of licensed conveyancers registered with the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC)  is continuously increasing, and many employers want their conveyancers to be regulated by the CLC.

Although it is possible to work in a wide variety of organisations, the vast majority of limited licence holders are to be found in firms of solicitors and property lawyers, with others working for local authorities and property companies. Local authority conveyancers may be employed in corporate services, planning or legal departments. Other organisations that employ conveyancers include banks, building societies and civil service departments.

Most full licence holders work in private practice with one or two partners, perhaps employing a small team of staff.
