• To deal courteously and promptly with any instructions or queries arising.
• To prepare any relevant legal documentation relating to the transaction.
• Be prepared to gain an understanding of client‑specific structures and working practices.
• Any other reasonable duties commensurate with the grade and post.

What you will need

• Law Degree
• Always work in a cross‑functional manner as is necessary to meet the Company goals.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• Ability to manage a large caseload and to work under pressure with high attention to detail
• Strong team player with the ability to use initiative and be self‑motivated
• Good personal organisation skills and ability to adhere to time limits and prioritise work
• Ability to project a professional image and to deal confidently with clients

• 35‑hour working week – Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing to a maximum of 30 days for additional years of service)
