Job description

Legal Assistant / Paralegal | Property | 1:1 with Managing Partner

Looking for a career-defining role where your expertise will be front and centre? This rare opportunity will see you working directly with a highly regarded and super lovely Managing Partner in a full-service commercial law firm, taking on a true 1:1 role that blends high-level legal assistant and paralegal support responsibilities.

This isn’t your standard Legal Assistant opportunity - you’ll be a key part of the leadership of the practice - trusted to handle complex legal documentation, coordinate a busy diary and meetings, liaise with clients both in person and via correspondence directly; and keep things running smoothly at the very top level. Working on a mix of commercial property and leasing transactions, you'll have the chance to use your skills in a way that is dynamic, challenging and highly rewarding.

What makes this role unique is the level of exposure and involvement you’ll have. You won’t just be ticking boxes in the background - you’ll be actively engaged in matters, trusted to step into client meetings, and valued as a critical extension of the Partner’s practice.

We’re looking for someone polished, proactive and confident,someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can anticipate what’s needed before being asked.

In return, you’ll join a supportive mid‑sized law firm that prides itself on its culture. With a size that’s big enough to offer variety but small enough to keep things personal, this is a place where people stay, feel valued, and are recognised for their contribution.

If you’re ready for a senior support role that puts you at the heart of a respected commercial law firm, we’d love to hear from you.
