Importantly, this isn't a fee-earning progression role, so it could be particularly well suited to someone who enjoys being a strong legal assistant and doesn't necessarily want to progress into a fee-earning position.
n Why consider it? This is a good opportunity for an experienced conveyancing assistant who wants something a little different without moving away from the skills they already have.
You'll have one foot in plot sales, one foot in commercial property, while also providing dedicated support to a senior member of the team.n
