Slater and Gordon are a leading consumer law firm which provides a broad range of specialist legal and complementary services. We are undergoing a huge transformation across all areas of the business, with a focus on people and technology, and our mission is to give people easier access to our world class legal services.

Are you looking to build a successful career in the legal sector? We have an exciting opportunity for a Legal Assistant to join our successful Fast Track RTA team.

This is an ideal role for someone who is highly organised, detail-oriented and eager to gain hands-on experience within a busy legal environment. Supporting experienced Fee Earners, you will play a vital role in ensuring cases progress efficiently while delivering excellent service to our clients.

As a Legal Assistant, you'll gain exposure to the litigation process from instruction through to conclusion, making this a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to develop their legal knowledge and take their first steps into the profession.

What You'll Be Doing

Working closely with Fee Earners and colleagues across the business, your responsibilities will include:

Providing administrative support to ensure the efficient management of Fast Track RTA claims.
Recovering evidence including recovery of medical records, opening new files, closing off files, updating court diary.
Assisting with the opening, maintenance and closing of legal files in accordance with company procedures.
Managing incoming and outgoing post, ensuring documentation is handled accurately and promptly.
Handling client and third-party telephone enquiries, taking messages and responding where appropriate.
Preparing standard legal correspondence, precedent letters, attendance notes and internal memoranda.
Supporting with court-related administration, including completion and lodging of court documents where required.
Conducting legal research and gathering information to support case progression.
Assisting with billing and other financial administrative tasks to support fee earners in achieving their objectives.
Maintaining accurate records and updating case management systems.
Ensuring work is completed within agreed timescales and in line with quality standards.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in hearing from candidates who can demonstrate:

Strong administrative and organisational skills.
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
The ability to prioritise workloads and manage multiple tasks effectively.
A proactive and professional approach to work.
Confidence when dealing with clients and external stakeholders.
Good IT skills and the ability to learn new systems quickly.
Previous legal administration experience is desirable but not essential.

What we offer in return:

We offer a hybrid working environment, alongside a competitive salary and benefits package including 25 days holiday allowance plus the option to purchase an extra 5 days, pension scheme, health cash plan, life assurance and income protection insurance. The opportunity to develop a rewarding and successful career with an award- winning law firm.

The Company has experienced unprecedented growth over the past few years. We have a vast number of employees, and provide support to clients from all over the country.
