This is a broad role combining office management responsibilities with a small amount of legal casework.

• Supporting solicitors and other members of the legal team.
• Ensuring files, systems and internal processes are kept organised and up to date.
• Assisting with the management of a small number of legal case files.
• Liaising with clients and other parties where required.
• Supporting the wider team across a high-volume caseload.
• Helping to ensure deadlines and administrative requirements are met.
• Taking responsibility for general office issues as they arise.

The Person

We are looking for someone with:

• Previous experience working within a law firm or legal environment.
• Strong organisational and office management skills.
• The ability to manage competing priorities in a busy office.
• Experience dealing with legal files or casework.
• Strong communication skills and a professional approach.
• Confidence working independently and taking ownership of responsibilities.
• Litigation experience would be beneficial, particularly within a high-volume environment.
