An excellent opportunity to develop your legal career

Our client offers an opportunity to join an established and well-regarded legal practice where a positive working environment, high standards of client care and a strong team ethos go hand in hand.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Legal Assistant with Commercial Property experience to join a supportive and collaborative team, providing valuable assistance to fee earners and gaining exposure to a varied range of legal matters. Corporate experience would also be welcomed, although the opportunity is particularly suited to someone looking to build on their Commercial Property knowledge and develop their career within an established practice.

With a culture built around mutual respect, collaboration and professional development, our client offers an environment where individuals are encouraged to learn, contribute and progress.

• 23 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, with additional holiday awarded for length of service.

   

• Paid Christmas shutdown.

   

• An extra paid day off for your birthday.

   

• Health and life insurance benefits.

   

Combined with a friendly, supportive working culture, this is an opportunity to become an integral part of the team, working alongside experienced legal professionals and contributing to the ongoing success of the department.

The Role

Working closely with fee earners, your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the day-to-day management of client matters, ensuring work is completed accurately and within required timescales.

   

• Preparing, organising and maintaining legal files and supporting documentation.

   

• Managing diaries, arranging client appointments and coordinating meetings.

   

• Preparing client correspondence through word processing, audio typing or digital dictation.

   

• Handling client and third-party telephone calls, enquiries and requests in a professional and efficient manner.

   

• Managing incoming emails, post and general administrative duties.

   

• Assisting with client onboarding, ID checks and ordering property searches.

   

• Supporting the progression of Commercial Property transactions, including exchanges and completions, under the guidance of fee earners.

   

• Assisting with Land Registry registrations and post-completion matters.

   

• Preparing client bills and managing account ledgers.

   

• Providing wider support to colleagues and the management team as required.
