A long established London law firm with a strong private client and property offering is looking to hire an experienced Conveyancing PA/Secretary to join its busy conveyancing team.

This is a hands on role supporting partner level and fee earner level stakeholders, and would suit someone with solid conveyancing experience who is confident managing a broad range of property support work independently, without dictation. The team is looking for someone who understands the pace and detail involved in conveyancing, is comfortable taking ownership of tasks, and can help create more fee earning time by providing reliable, proactive support across the life of a matter.

The role will involve preparing correspondence and documents through the case management system, opening files, issuing initial client paperwork, liaising with solicitors, estate agents and financial advisers, managing electronic filing and post, obtaining property, priority and bankruptcy searches, preparing completion statements, supporting billing processes, handling completion day calls, submitting SDLT returns and Land Registry applications, assisting with Land Registry requisitions, closing files, preparing deeds for storage and managing deeds requests. There may also be occasional reception cover and other team support duties as required.

The firm is keen to hear from candidates with at least five years’ conveyancing experience who are able to work with minimal supervision and who bring strong organisational skills, sound judgement and a calm, efficient approach. Previous experience in residential or commercial property will be considered, and confidence using case management systems is important. Experience with systems such as Partner for Windows, Elite and iManage would be helpful, alongside good Microsoft Office skills, strong communication and solid numeracy.

This is a full time role, Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.30pm. The team is primarily office based, with some hybrid flexibility currently in place depending on workload.

For someone who enjoys being a central part of a busy property team and takes pride in keeping matters moving smoothly, this is a strong opportunity within a well regarded London firm.
