Job Description

Paralegal - Company Secretarial
Edinburgh or Glasgow
£44,500+ (DOE) Permanent | Corporate & Commercial
 
Beaumont Legal Recruitment is delighted to be partnering with a leading UK-headquartered law firm to appoint a Company Secretarial Paralegal into its established Corporate team.

This is a standout opportunity for an experienced paralegal seeking to build a long-term career within a high-performing, forward-thinking environment recognised for both technical excellence and innovation across the UK market.
 
The Opportunity
 
Sitting within a well-resourced Corporate practice, you will play a central role in supporting the firm's company secretarial and registered office function. This is a varied and responsible position offering genuine ownership and direct exposure to a broad client portfolio, including UK and international entities.
 
Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing day-to-day company secretarial requirements across a diverse client base
• Maintaining statutory registers and company books (electronic and hard copy)
• Preparing and submitting Companies House filings including confirmations, appointments, resignations and share allotments
• Assisting with incorporations and acting as a key contact for formation queries
• Drafting board minutes, resolutions and routine corporate documentation
• Monitoring filing deadlines and maintaining accurate internal databases
• Preparing company profile reports and conducting Companies House research
• Supporting client onboarding processes, including AML compliance
• Liaising confidently with clients, advisers and third parties
• Assisting with billing processes and ad hoc corporate support tasks

This role offers meaningful involvement in client delivery and operational oversight, rather than purely administrative exposure.
 
About You
 
You will be an experienced company secretarial or corporate paralegal with a strong working knowledge of the Companies Act 2006 and statutory filing obligations.
 
You will demonstrate:

Proven ability to manage competing deadlines with precision
Strong organisational capability and attention to detail
Commercial awareness and client-focused delivery
Confidence engaging with stakeholders at all levels
A proactive, solutions-led mindset
Commitment to developing a long-term career within company secretarial practice

Experience with platforms such as Diligent Entities, iManage or Aderant would be advantageous, though not essential.
 
Why Consider This Role?

• Competitive salary from £44,500+ (DOE)
• Exposure to high-quality, cross-border corporate work
• Structured and supportive team environment
• Clear long-term development pathway
• Flexible location - Edinburgh or Glasgow
• A firm recognised for innovation, culture and investment in its people
