  • Maintain excellent service standards and high client satisfaction
  • Uphold high professional standards within the Department including producing quality documentation
  • Communicate with clients and other contacts in a professional and courteous manner.

This is the Junior Legal Secretary role that appeals to all with Litigation experience:

If you're working locally and looking to make the transition to an ambitious Legal practice;

If you're a Team Assistant or Administration Assistant looking for that next step on the career ladder;

If you'd prefer to work at a Medium sized Law firm that emphasises inclusion and team work;

If you'd like to work in a busy role, picking up diverse Legal knowledge, learning from other Secretaries and expanding your CV…!
