A London law firm is looking to recruit a Legal Secretary / Administrator to join its Private Client team.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a friendly, supportive and close knit team where your contribution will be genuinely valued. The team is made up of a partner, solicitor and paralegal, and they are looking for someone who will become an important part of the department and support its continued growth.
The role will suit someone with previous legal secretarial or administrative experience within Private Client who enjoys this area of law and is looking for a long term move in a team focused environment.
The successful candidate will be involved in a broad mix of secretarial and administrative duties, including preparing correspondence and documents, opening and closing files, archiving, updating records and databases, supporting with diary and financial administration, liaising with clients, arranging meetings, and assisting with team meetings and marketing events.
This is a role for someone who is organised, professional and personable, with strong communication skills, a flexible approach and a clear understanding of the importance of confidentiality. Previous experience dealing with clients is important, as is an interest in Private Client work.
This position is primarily a secretarial and administrative role. It is not suitable for recent law graduates, paralegals, or those looking to use the role as a route into qualification. The team is keen to meet candidates who want to build their career within Private Client support.
