Day-to-day operating brief

What Legal Assistant (Conveyancing) work looks like in practice

A Conveyancing Legal Assistant provides administrative and supervised technical support on property matters. Terms should cover client onboarding, identification evidence, search orders, standard forms, title documents, lender portals, enquiries, exchange packs, completion statements, post-completion submissions and client contact. The assistant should not report on title, confirm exchange, request or release funds, or answer legal questions without the responsible conveyancer's approval. Search results should be attached to the correct property and current transaction rather than carried over from a collapsed chain without review. Completion checklists must distinguish documents drafted, signed, received and approved; marking all four stages complete from a single upload can create a dangerous false readiness signal. Identification expiry, gifted-deposit evidence and estate-agent memorandum changes should remain visible to the responsible conveyancer. Signed papers received by post need scanning, original-location logging and prompt lawyer notification.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Open files and gather client documents.
Order searches and standard information.
Prepare supervised forms and correspondence.
Support exchange and completion checklists.
Submit and track post-completion items.
