Im currently supporting a well-established law firm in their search for a Legal Assistant to work directly with their Head of Conveyancing.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to be genuinely involved in the conveyancing process rather than confined to routine admin tasks.
This department is busy, high-performing, and well supported.
The firm already has dedicated teams handling new business and post-completion, which means their Legal Assistants are able to focus on real file progression, client-facing work, and hands-on support to their lawyer.
If youre looking for a role where you can develop strong technical skills and be an integral part of each matter, this is it.
Working one-to-one with the Head of Conveyancing on a mixed residential caseload.
Handling client enquiries and maintaining excellent relationships throughout each transaction.
Drafting documentation, managing key dates, conducting checks, and assisting with all aspects of file progression.
Being a consistent, reliable point of contact for clients, agents, and lenders.
Ensuring a smooth, proactive service with a strong focus on client care.
What Theyre Looking For
Previous conveyancing experience (assistant or paralegal level) is ideal, but they will consider candidates with strong client care experience from similar legal settings.
Someone organised, switched-on, and confident communicating with clients.
A team player who thrives in a busy environment and enjoys supporting senior fee-earners.
