About you

A strong work ethic and the ability to manage competing priorities and keep on top of deadlines are key qualities we are looking for, in addition to adapting to different working styles. Your drive to consistently deliver outstanding service promptly will be highly regarded.

A true interest and a drive to continue learning and engaging within the legal industry is needed, along with the ability to manage a varied workload, excellent attention to detail, and excellent verbal and written communication skills. Experience with document production software is helpful. A positive can-do attitude with a team-based approach to work, and previous experience supporting a litigation practice would be an advantage.

  • Opening new files
  • Diary management
  • Document and correspondence preparation, including court documents
  • Liaising with clients
