Key Responsibilities
* Onboarding new clients, including ID and AML checks
* Carrying out property searches
* Recording disbursement costs and maintaining accurate file notes
* Managing post-completion processes and file closure
* Providing administrative support to fee earners
* Scanning and maintaining documentation
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience in conveyancing and/or probate work
* 2–5 years’ experience in legal assistance or paralegal work

* Experience using LEAP or similar case management systems (preferred)
* A positive, approachable manner and a genuine team spirit
