Experienced Legal Secretary Wanted

Become the Backbone of a Respected Community Law Practice

For more than 20 years, our firm has been dedicated to serving members of our community with professionalism, commitment and genuine care. Established in 2004, we have built our reputation by treating clients as people, not file numbers. Many of our clients return to us time and time again and regularly recommend our services to family, friends and colleagues. We act for individuals and families in matters including Immigration, Housing Disrepair and Probate. We take pride in delivering a personal service and in building lasting relationships with the people we serve. As our practice continues to grow, we are seeking an experienced Legal Secretary who would like to play a central role in the continued success of the firm.

A Personal Message From The Principal Solicitor

I began my own legal career as a Legal Secretary whilst studying law in the evenings. Those years taught me lessons that have stayed with me throughout my professional life. They taught me organisation, discipline, client care and professionalism. I understand first-hand the importance of an excellent Legal Secretary and the vital role they play in the success of a law practice. I am now looking for somebody who takes genuine pride in the profession and would like to become a trusted and valued member of our firm.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for an experienced Legal Secretary who:
• Takes pride in their work.
• Understands the importance of client care.
• Is highly organised and dependable.
• Enjoys interacting with clients.
• Can work on their own initiative.
• Takes ownership of tasks and follows matters through to completion.
• Enjoys helping a busy practice run smoothly.
• Wishes to build a long-term professional relationship.

You may currently be working within a law firm. You may be returning to legal practice. You may be seeking a more personal and rewarding working environment. Most importantly, you will understand that Legal Secretaries are the backbone of a successful law practice.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will assist with:
• Client communications.
• Diary and appointment management.
• File administration using LEAP software.
• Preparing correspondence.
• Chasing outstanding documents and information.
• Matter progression.
• General office administration.
• Supporting the Principal Solicitor in the day-to-day running of the practice.
Over time, we hope this individual will become the trusted operational backbone of the firm, helping to ensure that matters progress efficiently while the Principal Solicitor continues serving clients and the wider community.

What This Role Is Not

This is not a paralegal role.
This is not a training contract.
This is not intended as a route to qualification.
Whilst we respect and support those pursuing qualification, we are specifically looking for a professional Legal Secretary who takes pride in the role and its importance within the legal profession.

Remuneration

We recognise and value the contribution that an experienced Legal Secretary brings to a successful law practice. An attractive package will be offered to the right individual, including the opportunity for performance-related rewards and long-term growth with the firm.

We are open to full-time, part-time and flexible working arrangements.
Remuneration will reflect experience, capability and the contribution the successful candidate brings to the practice.

About Us

We believe that legal services are ultimately about people.
Our clients include workers, families, tenants, carers, professionals, retirees and members of the wider community who are seeking help with important legal matters.
We regularly meet clients in their homes and communities because we believe that understanding people and their circumstances is an essential part of providing exceptional legal advice and service.

Interested?

If this opportunity speaks to you and you are an experienced Legal Secretary who takes pride in supporting clients and helping a busy practice succeed, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact us in confidence for an initial conversation.
