ONP Solicitors is expanding its Leeds operation in response to ‘increasing demand for its conveyancing and remortgage services.’
Since opening its Leeds office in May 2022, ONP has seen organic growth to a team of 50+. The firm says it now aims to accelerate this expansion further, with a vision to grow its team by over 100 this year. ONP have said that they are actively recruiting property lawyers at all levels to support this ambition, driven by its technology-led, customer-focused approach to conveyancing.
Commenting on the investment in Leeds Nick Hale, CEO of Movera, said:
“This investment in our Leeds team aligns with our broader strategy to become one of the UK’s leading providers of conveyancing services. We are not just growing in numbers but also investing in the training and development of our people to ensure we deliver the highest standards of service. Our goal is to create a workplace where excellence in customer service is at the heart of everything we do.”
Warren Martin, Director of Operations at ONP, said that their expansion in Leeds is a “testament to both the increasing demand” for their services and their “commitment to delivering excellence in the home-moving process”. He added:
“We are focused on building a team that shares our passion for putting the customer first and providing outstanding outcomes at every stage of the conveyancing journey. By combining experienced property professionals with innovative technology, we are confident in our ability to enhance the customer experience from instruction through to completion.”
Stockport based ONP are part of home-moving group Movera, which includes Cavendish Legal Group, Grindeys Conveyancing, LMS, Conveyancing Alliance (CAL) and Broker Conveyancing. The group recently announced the disposal of communications app InCase which was sold to The Access Group; and investment in Enquiry Manager, an AI-powered enquiry management tool from Collaborative Conveyancing.
Nick Hale recently appeared on the Today’s Conveyancer Podcast to discuss the business, sharing the objectives of Movera to improve the home moving experience for people, partners and clients, in a sector where none of those have been particularly well served. He describes how they have adopted a mantra of making the home moving experience “digital when it can be, and personal when it needs to be” recognising that people are at the heart of the business, and that they are one half of a legal system which has players “across the value chain.”
