We are working with a well‑respected professional services firm in Edinburgh to recruit a Legal Administrator to support their Commercial Property team. This is not a legal secretary or paralegal role, but instead a key support position, working closely with fee earners and acting as a central point of coordination for the team.
The Role
As Legal Administrator, you will provide high‑level administrative and operational support to the Commercial Property team, helping ensure matters progress smoothly from onboarding through to billing.
Key responsibilities include:
* Supporting the Commercial Property team with day‑to‑day administrative and coordination duties, similar to a PA‑style role
* Managing new client onboarding, including registration papers and compliance documentation
* Producing and maintaining WIP reports, monitoring financial progress on files, and supporting billing processes
* Assisting with financial administration, including liaising with finance teams and handling related documentation
* Maintaining accurate records and ensuring files are organised and compliant
* Acting as a point of contact for internal stakeholders and external third parties where required
About You
This role would suit someone from a professional services or legal background who enjoys being a trusted support within a busy team environment.
You will ideally have:
* Experience working within a legal or professional services environment (commercial property experience preferred but not essential)
* Strong administrative and organisational skills with excellent attention to detail
* Confidence working with financial information, reports, and internal systems
* A proactive, adaptable approach and the ability to manage multiple priorities
* A professional communication style and a team‑focused mindset
What’s on Offer
* Salary up to £35,000, dependent on experience
* Competitive holiday allowance and pension scheme
* Primarily office‑based role in Edinburgh, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility available
* A supportive, professional working environment within a well‑established firm
* An excellent opportunity to secure a long‑term administrative role supporting a commercial property practice
If you are an experienced legal or professional services administrator looking for a stable, team‑focused role rather than fee‑earning, this is an excellent opportunity.
