  • Handling incoming calls, emails, and client enquiries in a professional and courteous manner
  • Liaising with clients, estate agents, lenders, and other third parties to progress transactions
  • Assisting with Land Registry applications, SDLT submissions, and Companies House forms where required
  • Maintaining and updating case management systems and document management systems
  • Supporting billing processes, including preparing invoices and tracking disbursements
  • General office administration duties to support the wider team as needed

About You

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate:

  • Legal Secretarial experience
  • Previous exposure to commercial or residential property work
  • Strong typing and IT skills, including familiarity with case management systems
  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workload effectively
  • A high level of attention to detail and accuracy
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • A proactive and positive approach, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • A professional, client-focused attitude with a commitment to excellent service delivery

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary, dependent on experience
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • A supportive, friendly working environment
  • Opportunities for training and career progression
  • The chance to be part of both a respected regional firm and the wider Lawfront network
  • Long-term stability within a growing and forward-thinking legal group

Why Join Us?
