• Handling sensitive and confidential information with discretion

This is a role where your ability to anticipate what's needed, manage competing priorities and take initiative without being prompted will be genuinely appreciated.

About You
You'll be an experienced Legal Assistant with a strong background in Litigation or Dispute Resolution, ideally gained within a busy commercial law firm.
We're looking for someone who brings:

• Confidence supporting senior Partners and managing demanding schedules
• Excellent diary, inbox and organisational skills
• Strong litigation document preparation and court filing experience
• A proactive approach and ability to stay one step ahead
• Exceptional attention to detail and time management
