Julie Plenty

I am a legal assistant in the Commercial Real Estate Department working in the Taunton Office. I joined Chubb Bulleid in December 2025, having worked as a legal secretary for 20 years in other well-known local solicitors.

What I do

My role is to assist the solicitors in the team with administrative and transactional support. The team deals with a wide range of commercial property transactions including sales and purchases, leases and refinancing.

I carry out a variety of tasks including preparation of stamp duty land tax returns, registration of charges at Companies House, preparing financial statements, sending documents out for signature and dealing with payments in and out. I have a particular love of the post completion part of transactions, ensuring that transfers, leases and deeds are correctly registered at the Land Registry and all matters completed.

A bit more about me

What’s the most rewarding part of your work?

Getting to know clients and feeling my contribution has made a difference to the efficiency of the team.

What do you do when you’re not in the office?

Away from the office I enjoy a day at the races or catching a west end musical. I find the sound of the sea very relaxing, so a nice coastal walk followed by an ice-cream is a very pleasant way to spend the weekend.
