London, United Kingdom Winckworth Sherwood Full time

**About the role**

Our real estate team are looking for a Legal Secretary to cover a period of maternity cover. The role is a 35hr a week position based in our London Arbor office. After an initial period of familiarisation and onboarding, the position would offer a 3 day a week hybrid working pattern.

You will be working with our full-service commercial property team acting for clients ranging from major property companies and ultra-high net worth individuals to international banks and corporate occupiers. The team act on the full range of commercial property transactions including acquisitions, disposals, fundings, lettings and rent reviews.

As an integral member of the team, you will be supporting two Partners, a Senior Associate, two Associates and one trainee (when applicable).

Some of your day-to-day tasks will include diary management, document amendments, using BigHand for dictations, co-ordinating and uploading expenses, the opening and closing of files, using the Land Registry, and also assisting on specialised Finance Partner work, including drafting and amending confidential spreadsheets and documents.

**About you**

You will be able to demonstrate various examples of previous work experience in a similar role, ideally within a real estate/commercial property team, although other practice area experience would be considered.

You will love providing a first-class client service and thrive on juggling multiple workflows at the same time, utilising your time management skills. As the firm uses the latest cloud based legal systems, excellent IT skills will be required, along with a love for exploring how technology can streamline processes. Finally, you will recognise that there is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach to communicating with colleagues and clients, adapting your communication style to suit the situation.

In return, you will a join a friendly and supportive team who have a genuine vocational interest in their area of law. This in turn will provide you with an excellent opportunity to work on high level, complex commercial property work for a varied range of clients.

Our clients range from some of the UK’s largest businesses and institutions, housebuilders and developers through to investors, professional partnerships, family offices, not for profit organisations and private individuals - all of which benefit from the flexible, practical approach of our lawyers.

We recognise that our people play a key part in our success and as a result we are committed to their development and well-being. We actively encourage a healthy work-life balance and flexibility, keeping our people motivated and stimulated to deliver great things.

**Application review**

**Interview (in person at our London office)**

After this, you will meet the Legal Secretary who is going on maternity leave, and the Recruitment Manager. This will be a great opportunity to gain further insight into the role and team dynamics. Throughout the two meetings, you will be asked competency/behavioural based questions as well as some technical questions relating to the role.

**Offer of employment**

If you are successful and accept our offer of employment, we will submit your details to our background screening company (Giant), who will conduct a series of background checks. Once these have been completed and we have separately validated your proof of right to work in the UK, a start date can be agreed, and your onboarding schedule can be planned
