Our Head of Legal Practice joins the Conveyancing Association Board

22 May 2025

We’re proud to share that our Head of Legal Practice, Rhodri Howells, has been appointed to the Board of the Conveyancing Association.

The Conveyancing Association is the leading trade body for the Conveyancing industry, representing the views of Conveyancers across the UK and working to improve the home moving process for everyone involved.

Rhodri recently attended the Conveyancing Association’s Annual General Meeting alongside Conveyancers Elliot Pipes and Holly Bowen in London – a day celebrating industry progression.

Rhodri’s appointment recognises his experience, leadership, and deep understanding of the sector's challenges and opportunities. His voice will help shape future discussions on improving standards, embracing innovation, and protecting the interests of consumers and legal professionals alike.

We caught up with Rhodri to learn more about what this new role means to him…

What does joining the Board of the Conveyancing Association mean to you?

I’m proud to have been appointed a Director of the Conveyancing Association. The association is the leading trade body for the Conveyancing industry and, as such, plays an important role in working with industry stakeholders to campaign, influence and improve the Conveyancing process for all those involved.

What do you hope to contribute to the Conveyancing Association?

There are well-documented challenges facing the Conveyancing industry, but more than ever, it feels as if we are on the cusp of change. Being on the Board of the Conveyancing Association will allow me to have a voice in that change and advocate for Conveyancers. I do feel Conveyancers have been burdened with a slow trickle of more and more responsibility and regulation over the years, often in areas which are outside their areas of expertise.

I am genuinely excited and enthused by this appointment and look forward to being a part of the conversation going forward.   

Rhodri’s role with the Conveyancing Association marks an exciting step forward for the Board and the industry; this role puts Sort Legal right at the heart of industry change, and we’re excited about the positive impact it will have moving forward.

Once again, huge congratulations to Rhodri from everyone here at Sort Legal.
