We are working with a busy legal services firm looking for a proactive and highly organised Commercial Team Assistant to join their Taunton based team. This is a varied, cross-functional role providing flexible support across three core areas: Accounts, Legal Support, and Matter Administration & Compliance.

About The Role:

• You will act as a flexible resource across the commercial team, stepping in to ensure continuity of service during busy periods and planned absences. Full training will be provided, along with the chance to shadow each department as you build your knowledge and confidence across all three areas
• In the Accounts function, you will process office and transactional account tasks, including the transfer of client funds between mortgage providers and buyers, and provide cover for a team of four during periods of high demand. This is an administrative accounts role rather than a financial analysis position
• In Legal Support, you will work alongside solicitors and legal executives in a paralegal/legal administration capacity. Day-to-day tasks will include submitting Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) forms, requesting client funds, commissioning property searches, and managing title deeds and supporting documentation
• In Matter Administration & Compliance, you will carry out process-driven administrative tasks in line with internal compliance requirements, supporting file management, documentation, and procedural workflows

About you:

• Previous experience in a law firm, compliance team, or legal/paralegal administration role
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, process-driven environment
• Flexible and adaptable - willing to move between departments week to week as business needs require
• A proactive attitude and genuine willingness to take on new responsibilities
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well within a small, collaborative team
• Experience handling legal accounts or client money
• Familiarity with conveyancing processes such as SDLT submissions, property searches, or deeds management
• A law degree or equivalent legal qualification
• Degree-level education in any discipline (though experience will always be prioritised over academic qualifications)

Please apply today if this sounds like the role for you!
