Legal Secretary Role Description
We are looking for a Legal Secretary to provide secretarial and occasional PA support to the fee earners within the contentious probate team as part of our private client department. You will take responsibility for admin tasks to free up fee earners to allow them to concentrate on business creation and fee income, with a wide range of responsibilities such as preparing court documents and bundles for court and counsel, diary management to arrange meetings and appointments, filing and archiving of both electronic and physical documents, and monitoring the e-mail inboxes of fee earners absent from the office.
Previous experience within the Private Client Sector would be advantageous, or a more general litigation background is also welcome as long as you are able to demonstrate a full range of secretarial skills and an ability to provide PA style support to a team of fee earners from partner level to trainee solicitor level. Beyond this, we are looking for someone who is able to juggle and prioritising large workloads, has excellent typing skills, and can engage effectively with a range of clients and partners.
