Legal Assistant / Litigation Support / Legal Secretary / Litigation Assistant
Preston office | Full time, permanent, 35 hours, 5 days per week
Salary + bonus + benefits to balance your work life.
If your ideal lunch break involves a walk through the park rather than the hustle and bustle of a city centre, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
Based in our Preston office, just a stone's throw from Avenham and Miller Parks, you'll enjoy a welcoming office environment where collaboration, relationship-building and team spirit are part of everyday life.
This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys being around people. Our lawyers are looking for a colleague who thrives in an office setting, values face-to-face interaction, and enjoys building strong relationships with both clients and colleagues.
What will you be doing?
Working closely with experienced litigation lawyers, helping to progress a varied caseload and ensuring clients receive an outstanding service.
Expect plenty of variety, including:
- Collaborating directly with clients and professional contacts
- Supporting lawyers with case progression and administration
- Managing diaries and arranging meetings
- Undertaking research and preparing documents
- Handling client enquiries
- Assisting with billing, compliance, and file management
- Playing a key role in keeping the team organised and running smoothly.
Who are we looking for?
You do not necessarily need decades of experience, but you are someone who:
- Enjoys collaborating with people and building relationships.
- Is organised, proactive, and loves keeping things on track.
- Takes pride in delivering great client service.
- Enjoys being part of a team and contributing to the wider office community.
Experience within litigation would be a real advantage, particularly if you have worked as a Legal Assistant, Legal Secretary, or in a similar legal support role.
Why Napthens?
Because some jobs offer more than a desk. At Napthens, we are ambitious, friendly, and collaborative. Working with specialists from across the firm, build relationships throughout the office, and become part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
