Job Description

Is this you? You're an experienced, confident conveyancing secretary who thrives on autonomy and precision. You're mature, dependable and calm under pressure, with a strong sense of accountability and a professional yet approachable manner. You take pride in getting things right the first time and enjoy working in a relaxed yet high-functioning team where trust and competence matter more than titles and formality.
What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it) You'll manage property transfers from start to finish, including opening files, preparing legal documentation, managing client communication, and liaising with all parties involved. You'll process rates clearances, transfer duty, and bond cancellations, and ensure every condition for registration is met. You'll handle invoicing, filing, FICA collection, and general administration, including diary management. Some Deeds Office visits may be required. While independent working is expected, you'll also be an integral part of a small, fun team in a professional but relaxed environment.
Where you'll be doing it You'll be part of a well-established, forward-thinking (non-traditional) law firm that's known for its innovative approach to land and environmental law. With a close-knit Newlands office and a strong national presence, the team combines legal excellence with a people-first culture. Known for nurturing long-term relationships, the firm values trust, collaboration, and a sense of humour, creating a workplace where people genuinely enjoy what they do. This is a Monday to Friday in office role from 8am to 4pm.
What you'll need You'll need at least five years' experience as a conveyancing secretary with solid knowledge of conventional and sectional transfers and ideally some bond experience. Proficiency in Lexis Convey and MS Office is essential, along with a matric certificate and preferably a tertiary qualification in conveyancing. Strong communication skills and the ability to manage pressure and deadlines will be key to your success.
What you'll get In addition to a basic salary there is a provident fund, parking, potential tertiary study sponsorship and a sociable team and fun team culture.
