Team Structure

You'll support one senior partner on commercial real‐estate and corporate matters, collaborate with a junior associate on residential real‐estate files, and carry some administrative/back‐office functions across the team.

Role Summary

We are seeking a calm, tech‐savvy, organized and friendly legal support professional who is comfortable operating at a paralegal/clerk level, bridging substantive real‐estate work and firm operations. The core focus is on commercial real estate transactions, with some residential real‐estate, corporate financing/loan support and administrative overlap. You will assist the senior partner with high‐value deals, support the junior associate on residential workflow, and help optimise firm‐wide operations.

Key Responsibilities

- Manage commercial real estate files (sales, acquisitions, leasing, refinancing, large‐scale financing) from document drafting through closing.
- Support residential real‐estate transactions handled by the junior associate: open/close files, coordinate with agents/lenders/title companies, prepare documentation and schedule closings.
- Provide corporate transaction and financing support: entity resolutions, minute‐book maintenance, large commercial loans, valuations, lender deliverables and document management.
- Use technology effectively: document management systems (e.g., iManage or equivalent), e‐signature platforms, conveyancing software, secure file tracking and version control.
- Handle administrative tasks and support personnel:



file workflows, scheduling, backup support, cross‐functional coordination.
- Operate as a team player: support the senior partner, collaborate with the junior associate, and contribute to the firm's smooth, high‐quality service delivery.

Ideal Candidate Profile
- 8–10+ years of legal support experience, primarily in commercial real‐estate law, with familiarity or interest in residential real‐estate and corporate/finance matters.
- Demonstrated experience with large‐scale financing/loans, valuations, lender documentation or complex real‐estate transactions.
- Proficient with legal/real‐estate technology systems and tools; comfortable adapting to firm platforms.
- Organised, patient, friendly, calm under pressure; excellent interpersonal and client‐service skills, with a team‐oriented mindset.
- Willingness to engage in both substantive real‐estate transactional work and administrative operations support — helping to grow and evolve the role.

Why This Role?
- Join a community‐focused law firm with a long legacy (125+ years) and robust presence in the region.
- Hybrid work model that balances flexibility with team collaboration.
- Competitive salary that reflects the senior‐support nature of the role and the level of experience required.
