Founded in 2011, the South London Legal Partnership (SLLP) is the in-house legal service for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Boroughs of Merton, Richmond upon Thames, Sutton and Wandsworth.  

SLLP is committed to being a high performing in-house shared legal service which plays an essential part in the achievement of the priorities and objectives of our five local authorities for the benefit of their communities.  

The partnership has 150-160 staff and a turnover of £12 million. Over 1 million people are represented by the constituent councils. Operating at scale has enabled it to recruit and retain excellent staff and to provide a consistently high standard of service to our five Boroughs 

We are looking for real team players, who are self-motivated, bright, adaptable and able to deliver within tight deadlines. Experience in residential conveyancing is essential as you will be acting for several Councils in relation to residential transactions and a wide range of demanding residential local authority land matters. Knowledge of the local government legislation and governance would be beneficial but not essential.

SLLP’s Vision & Values include a commitment to improving services through the development of our staff in an inclusive and supportive environment. We aim to attract and retain a workforce which reflects the diverse communities we serve.  

If you think you have the skills/experience we are looking for and share the same values, then we want to hear from you.
