About
Commercial & Agricultural – Legal Secretary – Full time, permanent. Farnfields Solicitors have an excellent opportunity for a Legal Secretary to join our busy Commercial & Agricultural Department at our North Dorset offices in Gillingham on a permanent full‑time basis.
What is the role? The role will involve providing administrative/secretarial support within the Commercial & Agricultural Department using our designated IT systems. It is a busy department so you will be proficient and comfortable working in a busy team with regular multi‑tasking whilst working to deadlines. In the role you will be liaising with clients, solicitors and estate agents, so good people skills are essential.
