An exciting Legal Secretary opportunity has arisen at the stunning offices of our client, one of the UK's top law firms where you will be providing support to partners and wide team members within the highly collaborative, busy, high performing and ambitious Residential Estates team. Your lynchpin role will be varied with no day being the same, and will encompass both traditional secretarial duties (supporting see fee earners working on complex residential matters e.g. leasehold enfranchisement and asset management, so that they can maximise their time) as well as assisting the team with managing client relationships, coordinating business development activities, and supporting presentations and events.
