Commercial Property Legal Assistant
Hot Job
- Join a growing Commercial Property team with genuine opportunities to build a long-term legal career
- Hybrid working after probation, excellent benefits including Happy Hours, and a supportive, down-to-earth culture
- Work closely with a solicitor and paralegal in a collaborative team where progression is earned and encouraged
If you’re looking for a Legal Assistant role where you can build a career rather than simply gain experience, this could be exactly what you’re looking for.
You’ll join one of the firm’s key growth areas, supporting a busy Commercial Property team that’s continuing to expand as part of wider investment across the business. Rather than being treated as an extra pair of hands, you’ll become an important member of a close-knit team, working alongside a solicitor and paralegal in your own mini pod and playing a key role in keeping transactions moving smoothly.
This is a business that believes there’s real value in long-term careers. Progression isn’t about rushing to the next title; it’s about becoming excellent at your current role, developing your skills and building the foundations for future opportunities. Many of the firm’s senior leaders started their careers in junior positions, demonstrating that development isn’t just talked about; it’s genuinely part of the culture.
From your first day, you’ll support a wide range of Commercial Property matters, assisting with client communication, transaction management and file progression while developing your technical knowledge of property law. As your confidence grows, so will your responsibilities, with regular development conversations focused on where you want your career to go and how the firm can help you get there.
The culture is one of the firm’s biggest strengths. Hierarchy is kept to a minimum, colleagues enjoy spending time together both inside and outside work, and senior leaders remain approachable and visible.
