- Liaising with fee earners daily about workload prioritisation and providing secretarial support to the family law, private client and litigation fee earners, typing letters, court and meeting notes, filling out forms, filing etc.
- Assisting fee earners with preparing legal documents, including the preparation of court bundles.
- From time to time, witnessing clients’ Wills.
- General office admin duties, including taking post to the post office, managing stationery orders, ensuring the reception and meeting room area is kept tidy, managing petty cash and opening and closing the office at times.
- This role is ideal for someone who’d like to work in a close-knit, hardworking, small but busy local high street team – that would like to build a long-lasting career within the firm.
