McEwan Fraser Legal, an award-winning Solicitor and Estate Agency, is a dynamic, modern company.

With an array of respected industry awards under our belt, we are highly innovative and known for our emphasis on providing exceptional customer service.

We deal with residential and commercial property sales as well as having a robust legal department specialising in conveyancing, private client, family law and litigation.

Due to the demands of the business, we require professional, motivated Legal Assistants to join the Legal team in our Edinburgh Head Office.

We are not your typical Solicitors & Estate Agents as we do everything in-house to ensure we have specialists to advise clients during every step of their journey.

You will be joining a varied team of over 100 in-house experts who all share the same passion for client care.

Previous experience and knowledge of conveyancing work within the Scottish Legal system is desirable, however, experienced administrators with a genuine interest in taking on the challenge of helping the department run as efficiently as possible will be considered.

-

Maintaining an updated filing system
Creating and updating client files on case management systems
File preparation and allocation of files to fee earners
Money laundering and ID verification checks

-
Customer Service_

Liaising with clients and other solicitors with occasional facetoface meetings

Legal correspondence_

Bachelors degree in Law (LLB)
Methodical and organised approach with careful attention to detail
Proficiency in all Microsoft packages, including Word, Excel and Outlook
Experience in LawWare or other Case Management systems is desirable but not essential
Impeccable verbal and written communication
Ability to thrive in a busy, fastmoving, targetdriven team environment
Strong initiative with natural problemsolving ability

There is plenty of scope for growth as the role progresses.
