Legal Secretary - Commercial Property

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Legal Secretary to join our client’s highly regarded Commercial Property team based in their Exeter office.  They are seeking a motivated, client focused and friendly individual who ideally has a wide range of experience across the full spectrum of legal expertise, but with a particular emphasis on commercial property work. 

As a member of the Commercial Property secretarial team, you will provide effective administrative and secretarial support to appointed fee earners, to enable those fee earners to operate at optimum efficiency. 

You will assist the fee earners with progressing commercial property matters from instruction through to completion.  This will include but will not be limited to the preparation and submission of searches, conducting searches and enquiries through the Land Registry Portal, filing SDLT returns, preparing leases and transfers, preparing completion work including raising cheques, completion statements, invoicing and preparing files for closing and archiving, as well as providing general secretarial and administrative support.

Also, as a member of the Exeter secretarial team, you will provide general administrative and secretarial support to other fee earners in the office, as and when required, either in the absence of a particular secretary or when excessive workloads require additional secretarial support, to enable such fee earners and the office as a whole to operate efficiently.

As a Legal Secretary, you will be expected to use a high degree of self-management and initiative.
