We are seeking a Private Client Legal Secretary / Paralegal to join a dedicated and supportive team. This role is for someone with prior legal experience, who is looking for a long-term opportunity to develop and potentially qualify in the legal profession. If you have a law degree, that’s even better!

What You’ll Do

• Provide essential administrative and secretarial support to our team of lawyers.
• Sit in on client meetings and attend home visits alongside our team to deliver outstanding service.
• Manage a range of tasks, from diary management to document preparation, ensuring a seamless client experience.

• Qualifications: A law degree or similar legal qualifications are highly desirable.
• Skills: Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to handle sensitive matters with professionalism.

• Gain exposure to a wide range of private client matters, including wills, probate, and trusts.
• Be part of a team dedicated to providing excellent client care.
