The successful individual will be responsible for all of the usual legal secretarial duties in a litigation environment, including:

Filing (electronic and paper);
Updating records such as client, case and contact details in our practice software.
Proactively assisting the Litigation Lawyer to manage their schedule.
Handling enquiries by phone and in person, recommending appropriate services and arranging consultations / appointments / callbacks.
Assisting with the collation of documents for court and other bundles.

You will most likely have previous experience of working as a legal secretary, preferably in a litigation or similar discipline.

It will be necessary for you to be able to confidently use a range of software packages, although predominantly Word and Outlook, and possess clear and concise communication skills, both written and verbal.

As litigation is a particularly demanding and fast-changing environment, you will need be able to work well under pressure, in close partnership with the Litigation Solicitor.
