Job Description
TSR Legal are pleased to be working with a well-established and highly regarded law firm who are looking to recruit an experienced Legal Assistant to join its busy Property team in Bristol. Supporting both a Residential Property Solicitor and a Commercial Property Solicitor, this is a varied and hands-on role that will offer exposure across a broad mix of work.
This opportunity would suit someone with a solid background in conveyancing who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in being organised, proactive, and detail-oriented.
The Role
You will play a key role in supporting fee earners across the full lifecycle of property transactions. This will include onboarding new clients, preparing and issuing quotes, opening files, and carrying out due diligence checks such as ID verification and AML compliance. You will also be responsible for preparing client care documentation and liaising with clients to gather the necessary information at the outset of matters.
Day to day, you will assist with residential conveyancing transactions from instruction through to completion, while also providing support on commercial property matters as required. This will involve preparing contract packs, ordering and managing searches, drafting standard correspondence, and acting as a key point of contact for clients, estate agents, lenders, and other third parties.
You will also support post-completion work, including submitting SDLT returns, handling Land Registry applications, preparing completion statements, and ensuring all deadlines are met. Alongside this, you will maintain accurate file records, manage diaries and key dates, handle post, and provide general administrative support to ensure the smooth running of the department.
About You
The successful candidate will have prior experience in residential conveyancing and a strong understanding of the process from instruction through to post-completion. Exposure to commercial property work would be beneficial but is not essential.
You will be highly organised, with strong time management skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently. Strong communication skills are key, along with a high level of attention to detail and the confidence to work both independently and as part of a wider team.
What’s on Offer
This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected and supportive firm where you will gain exposure to both residential and commercial property work. A competitive salary is on offer, along with the chance to further develop your skills within a collaborative team environment.
