About Us:

Join our long-established and reputable firm, Chilcotts Law, with a history dating back to the 1800s. We have built a strong client base in Tavistock and the surrounding areas of West Devon and South East Cornwall, thanks to our experienced team and dedication to providing outstanding legal services. We pride ourselves on our local expertise and personalised client care, while also serving clients on a national scale. As families move across the UK, they often return to us—a known and trusted firm.

At Chilcotts Law, we continuously strive for growth and expansion, recently recruiting consultant lawyers across various specialisms to ensure our clients see us as their first choice for all their legal needs. We set the standard for what a law firm should be, focusing on our clients and making it "all about you." This client-centric approach extends to our staff, ensuring they are satisfied and supported in their roles.

Role Overview:

About You:

We are looking for a professional, competent, ambitious, and enthusiastic individual with a can-do attitude.

• Adherence to firm policies on file management
• Technical proficiency and good IT skills
