CONVEY LAW

Conveylaw is a residential conveyancing company located in Newport, South Wales. Since its founding in 2004, the company has grown to a team of more than 80 people and become one of the largest conveyancing specialists in the UK. Ongoing expansion is expected to add 25 new positions by the end of 2016. Conveylaw has built its success by providing excellent conveyancing services for a range of different clients, from private individuals to corporate presenters of businesses. A strong focus on emp... loyee development and giving back to the community has extended Conveylaw’s influence beyond the field of conveyancing. Conveylaw has won numerous awards for conveyancing and for its commitment to corporate social responsibility. In 2014, the company won Gold for both Best Conveyancer and Best Large Conveyancer at the Sunday Times Estate Agency of the Year Awards. In 2015, Conveylaw was ‘Highly Commended’ for innovation and promotional marketing at the Property Forum Awards and received Best Overall Conveyancer at the LFS Awards. In 2016, the firm won the ‘Winner of Winners’ title at the Welsh Business Awards, a ‘Commitment to Skills and People Development’ accolade and was named ‘One to Watch’ by the Sunday Times Best 100 Companies to Work For in 2016. Conveylaw has been recognised by the Institute of Directors and the Welsh Government for its commitment to employee development and corporate social responsibility. The key to Conveylaw’s success is an innovative approach to conveyancing which divides tasks amongst various teams of specialised employees. Licensed conveyancers work live with clients and handle the important legal elements of each transaction. Meanwhile, support teams welcome new clients and handle research and post-completion requirements, ensuring that even complex transactions can progress smoothly and stay within the stipulated deadline. This approach makes space for trainee paralegals and junior conveyancers to work alongside more experienced professionals, quickly gaining the skills they will need to advance in their field. Conveylaw employs many new graduates who are able to continue their education through seminars and web-based classes even whilst they are working. Mid-level employees are also encouraged to set career development goals and Conveylaw has even sponsored multiple employees to qualify for conveyancer licensing. Conveylaw has been a leader in charity work, raising more than £390,000 for various causes in the past five years. The company launched the Conveyancing Foundation in 2015, which has not only highlighted the company’s philanthropic endeavours but has also encouraged other companies to make charitable donations a part of their business model. Clients who give to the foundation are entered into a draw to win a partial refund on their regular legal fees. Clients and employees alike take part in regular fundraising challenges. As it moves into its second decade of business, Conveylaw hopes to bring even more innovation to the conveyancing industry and find new ways of engaging with the community.More
