An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Legal Secretary to join a small, well-established commercial property team. This role offers variety, responsibility, and the chance to work closely with fee earners across both the local team and the firm's Bristol office.

The Role

You'll be a key support function within the wider Commercial Property department, providing a comprehensive secretarial and administrative service to fee earners. The workload is predominantly hands-on file management and administration, rather than high-volume dictation.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing full secretarial and administrative support to fee earners
• Opening and managing legal files from instruction through to completion
• Scanning, archiving, and maintaining accurate file records
• Managing documentation and correspondence efficiently
• Supporting a range of property matters
• Liaising with colleagues in the Bristol office as part of the wider team

There is minimal dictation involved in this role. While audio typing or dictation experience would be beneficial, it is not essential.

About You

You'll be organised, proactive, and confident working within a busy property team. You'll ideally bring:

• Previous legal secretarial experience, ideally within property
• A working knowledge of Land Registry and SDLT processes
• Experience supporting residential and/or commercial property work (agricultural experience is a strong advantage)
• Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills
• A professional and supportive approach when working with fee earners and colleagues
• This is a fantastic opportunity for a Legal Secretary looking to join a collaborative commercial property team with a supportive culture and long-term development prospects.
