A rare opportunity for a legal secretary with only a year’s experience to join an expanding London law firm, which is based in stunning offices in the heart of the City. You will be a small team of fee earners and so this is an ideal opportunity for a legal secretary who is looking to take on more responsibility and PA duties. The partners are happy to see a legal secretary / legal PA with a background in any area of law.
Responsibilities:
- Diary management – this will be a very large part of the role
- Client liaison – taking messages, dealing with enquiries, responding to correspondence etc.
- Typing and document management including audio typing and digital dictation
- Arranging meetings, booking rooms and managing appointments
- Organising all travel including visas, currency, hotel bookings etc.
Although you will be fully trained on all internal systems and databases, you must have excellent general IT skills and a good understanding of Microsoft Word and Excel. It is also essential that you have at least one year’s experience as a legal secretary / trainee legal secretary (in any area of law), a flexible and proactive approach to your work, strong organisational and timekeeping skills and, most importantly, excellent communication skills. The CILEx level 2 or 3 (or equivalent secretarial qualification) is also desirable.
This is an excellent opportunity to join the busy London office of an international law firm and is ideal if you have been working as a legal secretary in a local / regional firm and now want to make the move to a London practice. There is a real chance for progression in this role as the more able you become, the more responsibility you will be given. Fantastic working environment, very friendly team and a top role!
