Job Description:
### Legal Secretary – Residential Development Team, Manchester

Are you ready to elevate your career as a Legal Secretary within a dynamic and supportive environment? This role offers a unique chance to work closely with Fee Earners and Partners in Manchester’s leading Residential Development Land team.

**Why This Role Stands Out:**

- **Exclusive Focus:** Unlike many competitors, this position allows for a traditional secretarial role, working intimately with a select group of fee earners rather than being part of a national pool.
- **Flexibility:** While predominantly office-based, there is scope for flexibility to suit your lifestyle.
- **Prestigious Clients:** Join a team that partners exclusively with the UK’s top housebuilders, including all of the top 10 and 18 of the top 20.
- **Comprehensive Projects:** Engage in a variety of large-scale land matters such as acquisitions, disposals, strategic land options, and long-term development projects.

**About the Team:**

The Residential Development Unit boasts 200 specialists.. The team is renowned for its expertise in development agreements, conditional contracts, and strategic land projects.

**What We’re Looking For:**

The ideal candidate will be a proactive individual who excels in providing seamless secretarial support. Key attributes include:

- **Experience:** Previous legal secretarial experience, ideally within the Real Estate sector.
- **Technical Skills:** Proficiency in typing, drafting, and producing documents efficiently. Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Word and case management systems.
- **Communication:** First-class written and verbal communication skills.
- **Accuracy:** Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
- **Initiative:** Ability to learn independently and self-motivate.
- **Pressure Management:** Experience working under tight deadlines while maintaining composure.
- **Organisation:** Strong time management and organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise and multitask effectively.
- **Discretion:** Demonstrated ability to maintain absolute confidentiality.

This role is perfect for a dedicated Legal Secretary looking to make a significant impact within a prestigious and supportive team. If you possess the skills and experience outlined above, this could be the next step in your professional journey.
