Beaumont Legal to double workforce

Wakefield solicitors, Beaumont Legal, is to recruit 35 new members of staff over the coming months as it moves towards its target to become the largest conveyancing firm in the UK within the next three years.

Already one of the biggest firms in Yorkshire, Beaumont Legal currently has a turnover of £3.5 million and has already signed up 25 new employees since the start of the year. The new recruits will take the company’s total payroll to nearly 100 – almost double the number employed just 18 months ago.

Beaumont claims that success is a result of its ability to satisfy increased demand for fast, efficient and cost-effective online property services as the property market recovers from the recession.

It reports that an onus on high levels of customer service led to the business being crowned the UK’s best law firm for conveyancing at the First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards earlier this year.

Partner and head of conveyancing, Nick Masheder, said of the recruitment drive: “We’re very proud of our growth over the past 18 months – our dedication to providing a quality, technology-led service that today’s home buyers demand, has helped us achieve rapid expansion since the recession.

“We are going from strength-to-strength but we need new talent to support the extraordinary growth of the business. Our aim is to become the UK’s largest firm for conveyancing within three years and the quality of our teams will be crucial in achieving that target.”

The firm is now looking for 15 solicitors, ten legal secretaries and ten legal assistants to join its headquarters at Paragon Business Village.
