The opportunity
TSR Legal is delighted to be working with a well-established law firm with the backing and resources of a national organisation, in the search for a skilled Legal Secretary to join its Wills & Probate team in Chepstow.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Legal Secretary looking to join a close-knit and supportive office environment whilst benefiting from the stability, reputation and career opportunities associated with a larger legal group.
