NOW HIRING — SRI LANKA

Xcova — the offshore legal services arm supporting Smart Legal (www.smartlegal.co.uk), one of the UK's most trusted conveyancing solicitor firms — is expanding its operations to Sri Lanka and is seeking a qualified, experienced Attorney at Law to join its growing conveyancing team.

Xcova currently operates successfully from India, providing end-to-end conveyancing services to clients across England and Wales — and is now replicating that model in Sri Lanka.

You will handle a full caseload of residential conveyancing matters, working UK business hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm) and adhering to UK public holidays.
