Skills and Experience Administration of the AvMA Panel: The bulk of the administration and management tasks do not require specialist skills; however, assistance is provided by the PA to the CEO when required. AvMA has a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) driven computer system throughout the organisation, the introduction has been phased and the applicant should be confident enough with sufficient IT skills to onboard the new system. The CRM works with Microsoft Dynamics 365 a data driven software solution which is intended to manage, track and store information. AvMA considers IT to be an ongoing commitment and the new panel accreditation manager should be willing to consider ways in which AvMA can maximise the impact of the CRM to improve services and data collection on key issues identified from panel related activities. Tasks such as updating and preparing new panel application documents and report forms will require medical and legal input, the panel application interview process will involve discussions about topical medico legal issues and for this reason the post would suit someone who has a legal background, ideally qualified as a solicitor or barrister, preferably with clinical negligence accreditation.

AvMA aims to make reaccreditations more straightforward for practitioners and the new appointee will be expected to liaise with the profession to understand where they consider the biggest hurdles to reaccreditation lie and to consider how these can be overcome without compromising standards. AvMA receives a minimum of 15 applications for reaccreditation per annum, however numbers are usually considerably higher, up to 30 per annum. It is thought that the reaccreditation process could be designed to be more streamlined and user friendly for both the applicant and in house. Other AvMA Panel assessments: In addition to assessing AvMA panel applications and reaccreditations the Panel Accreditation Manager will need to assess applications from accredited panel members who have changed firms. Change of firm applications tend to be straightforward if the applicant has been on the panel for some time and is going to a firm where there is another AvMA panel member but the process is more in depth for those going to a firm which does not have another AvMA panel member. The Panel Application Manager needs to be confident that the new firm can meet the minimum standards and supervision requirements required of a first time panel application. There are about 5 applications for changes of firm rising to a maximum of 10 per annum. Interim Reviews: From time to time first time applicants may demonstrate that they largely meet the core criteria for AvMA Panel membership but there may be some areas that require improvement. In those cases, AvMA can award the applicant AvMA panel status subject to a review sometime later. The Panel Accreditation Manager is responsible for following up that review and examining progress made. The review is an opportunity to identify if the applicant has succeeded in strengthening the areas of weakness identified. If they have not, they risk losing their AvMA panel status entirely. There are about 3 interim reviews per annum, currently not exceeding 6. 3. Other: To support the Events Department's quality initiatives and to suggest continuing improvements where needs arise.

Senior Leasehold Extension & Enfranchisement Lawyer England & Wales Remote / Hybrid / Office-Based Full or Part-Time TSR Legal are pleased to be working exclusively with a highly regarded law firm that is home to one of the largest and most specialist leasehold extension teams in the country. This is not a bolt-on practice area - leasehold enfranchisement is at the very core of what they do. The team handles work nationwide for both freeholders and leaseholders and continues to grow year on year due to an outstanding reputation in the market. To date, they've helped around 10,000 clients extend their leases or acquire their freehold and currently manage circa 350 matters annually. This role has arisen due to continued growth and offers a rare opportunity for a true leasehold specialist to join a market-leading team where the work is high quality, consistent, and genuinely specialist. The Role You'll manage a caseload focused exclusively on: Lease extensions Enfranchisement Right to Manage matters There is no contentious leasehold work within this role - all disputes are handled by an in-house specialist litigation team, allowing you to focus on technical, advisory and transactional work. In addition to fee earning, this role has a strong supervisory and mentoring element, supporting and developing junior members of the team. The Ideal Candidate This role is only suitable for an experienced leasehold specialist. My client is very clear on this point. You will need to demonstrate: A minimum of 3 years' solid experience handling lease extensions, enfranchisement and RTM matters Deep, hands-on expertise in leasehold work (this is not suitable for someone who has done "the odd" lease extension) A genuine commitment to specialising in leasehold enfranchisement long term Proven experience supervising, mentoring and training junior staff - this is a key part of the role A desire to continue developing your technical expertise in this niche area The confidence to work in a fast-paced, high-volume specialist environment Excellent client care and communication skills A strong billing track record The ability to delegate effectively A collaborative, team-focused approach with strong people skills Good organisational ability and excellent IT competence Working Pattern & Flexibility Full-time preferred, though part-time candidates will be considered Fully remote, hybrid or office-based working available Offices are based in Wiltshire. That said, candidates who are able to spend some time in the office will be prioritised, due to the importance of hands-on supervision and training of junior team members. Salary Market-leading, dependent on experience and level of expertise Why This Role? From a recruitment perspective, this is one of the strongest specialist leasehold opportunities I see in the market. You'll be joining a firm where leasehold enfranchisement is taken seriously, properly resourced, and supported by genuine experts - not treated as a secondary add-on to conveyancing. If you're a leasehold specialist who wants to focus on what you do best, work with like-minded experts, and play a key role in developing the next generation of leasehold lawyers, this is a role well worth exploring.
