We’re working with an established law firm in Brighton that is looking for an experienced Family Legal Secretary to join its team.
This is a hands-on support role where you’ll work closely with Family Law fee earners across a varied caseload. You’ll play an important part in keeping matters organised, dealing with correspondence and helping clients receive a high standard of service throughout what can often be a difficult time.
The Role
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing secretarial and administrative support to Family Law fee earners
- Preparing and formatting correspondence and legal documents
- Liaising with clients, courts and other solicitors
- Managing diaries, appointments and meetings
- Opening, maintaining and closing client files
- Handling telephone and email enquiries professionally
- Assisting with billing and general file administration
- Keeping records and case management systems accurate and up to date
- Helping fee earners manage deadlines and the day-to-day progression of matters
The role would suit someone with previous Family Law, legal secretarial or legal support experience who enjoys being organised, working closely with fee earners and having regular client contact.
You’ll be joining a professional but personable environment where teamwork is important and you’ll have the opportunity to continue building your knowledge and experience.
If you don’t meet every requirement, we’d still encourage you to apply. We work with law firms across Brighton and the surrounding area and regularly recruit for a range of legal support positions.
Apply now for a confidential discussion. We’ll tell you more about the firm and role before anything moves forward. Your CV will never be automatically sent to our client – we’ll always discuss the opportunity with you first.
