Mûve, a leading conveyancing firm in the UK property sector built on the foundation of talent in Sri Lanka, is stepping up its efforts to expand its team of legal professionals to cater to the growing demand in the GBP 2.5 billion market.

It was recently named one of the UK’s fastest-growing firms for the second consecutive year by the British Sunday newspaper, The Sunday Times in their latest list of 100 fastest-growing companies published annually, making it the only law firm to be featured.

Mûve has had compound annual revenue growth of over 66% in the last three years, with a record growth of 27% in the previous financial year amidst a 20% drop in national conveyancing volumes, largely made possible by its investments in its staff and technology advancement, such as pioneering the first digital remortgage transaction in the UK.

With its continued expansion and innovative value additions to clients, Mûve is now gearing to be within the top five market position in the UK conveyancing sector. Mûve has garnered over 5,000 five-star reviews on TrustPilot, reaffirming its commitment to providing first-in-class service.

At the core of its success lies Mûve Colombo, established over seven years ago, where a dedicated and diverse team of over 450 professionals handles conveyancing including legal support services, client services, finance, and business operations.

“We are incredibly proud of our team in Colombo and our continued success and growth could not have been made possible without them. We are actively looking at expanding our talent and contributing to the country’s legal profession with our truly international workplace culture,” said Mûve COO Adam Gamage-Brooker.

Sri Lanka produces quite a significant number of law graduates in any given year. Recognising the unique challenges faced by new graduates in the legal profession, Mûve Colombo provides numerous opportunities for those who have completed their LLB without the need to further other avenues to be an attorney.

It has a high-performance and high-reward culture, with a truly international mindset, supported by customised training, mentorship, and career growth. The work-life balance is defined by the phrase “work hard, play hard”, hosting various events, sports, and activities that keep everyone engaged, including flexible working hours.
