Legal Secretary – Residential Development
Manchester
Hybrid
Are you an experienced Legal Secretary with a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach to supporting legal professionals? We’re working with a leading UK law firm renowned for their specialist Residential Development practice, and they’re looking to welcome a dedicated Legal Secretary to their teams in Manchester.
You’ll be joining an award-winning Residential Development Land department, known for its involvement in some of the UK’s most significant and complex land deals. From acquisitions and disposals to strategic land and long-term development agreements, this team is right at the heart of the residential property market.
Why this role stands out
Unlike some firms where secretarial support is shared across a national pool, here you’ll work closely with a small number of fee earners—building real rapport and becoming a vital part of the team’s day-to-day success. It’s a traditional secretarial role in the best sense: valued, varied, and essential.
What they’re looking for
They’re keen to speak with Legal Secretaries who are confident, organised, and ready to hit the ground running. You’ll need to be comfortable managing multiple diaries, communicating with clients and stakeholders, and ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
Ideal background:
Previous experience in a legal secretarial role, ideally within property or commercial law
High typing speed and strong document production skills
Impeccable communication—both written and verbal
Meticulous attention to detail and accuracy
Calm and efficient under pressure, with excellent time management
Proficient in MS Office, formatting documents, and using case management systems
Discreet, professional, and always mindful of confidentiality
This is a fantastic opportunity to build your legal career within a respected and growing team at the forefront of residential development in the UK.
