Crynodeb

Would you like a Legal Secretary role that will see you make an impact in an ambitious, people focused firm that offers hybrid working, and prides itself on its people first, supportive culture, as well as opportunities for career development and progression? Would you like the chance to work in a collaborative environment where your ideas are valued?

An exciting Legal Secretary opportunity has arisen at the stunning offices of our client, one of the UK's top law firms where you will be providing support to fee earners within the highly collaborative, busy Estates team on probate and estate matters. Your lynchpin role will be varied with no day being the same, and will encompass taking ownership of processes to ensure various legal secretarial and administrative support tasks are completed on time to ensure a high level of support to clients at sensitive and difficult times personally.

As a Legal Secretary your new roles involve:

- Acting as a key point of contact for clients, executors and beneficiaries, building strong relationships
- Liaising with third parties including HMRC, Probate Registry, Land Registry and banks
- Complex diary management and setting up meetings, calls, appointments and travel
- Drafting correspondence and documentation (e.g. letters of authority, closure and encashment forms) and preparing accounts documents
- Assisting with preparation for meetings and business development activity
- Opening and closing probate files
- Maintaining client, beneficiary and estate information
- Logging and tracking key documents such as wills and Grants of Probate, and managing key dates throughout the estate administration process
- Conducting bankruptcy searches

I am very interested in speaking with candidates who have experience working as a Legal Secretary, Estates Secretary, or Secretary (from within a professional services environment) supporting multiple fee earners / professionals, and who have a background supporting Private Client, Probate or Estates work. A passion for empathetic, sensitive client care and adaptability, along with the ability to prioritise your own workload and solid proof reading, accuracy and IT skills (MS Office, BigHand) are important for this Legal Secretary opportunity.

Salary for this position is c. £30,000 to £32,000 p.a. (depending on level of experience).

Benefits include: hybrid working, life assurance, private healthcare, Group Income Protection, your birthday off (if it falls on a working day), charity day to use each year, Employee Assistance Programme, and company social events.

The company's stunning offices offer free parking (limited on-site on a first come first serviced basis) or close by to the offices, however if you are travelling by public transport they are only a short 10-15 minutes walk from the nearest train station.

Meridian Business Support is a recruitment specialist acting on behalf of our client as an Employment Agency for this vacancy.
