Liaise professionally with clients, counsel, courts, third parties and internal colleagues to obtain information, progress actions and provide timely updates; handle telephone and reception enquiries with a client-focused manner.

Key skills and experience:

Proven experience as a legal secretary or senior legal administrator within a law firm or legal environment; supporting solicitors or fee earners across one or more practice areas (residential property, private client, litigation or similar desirable).
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with strong attention to detail and high standards of accuracy in drafting and document preparation.
Confident user of case management systems, electronic document management, Microsoft Office applications (Word, Outlook, Excel) and comfortable adopting new systems or document automation tools.
Highly organised with the ability to prioritise competing demands, manage multiple tasks and meet tight deadlines while maintaining a professional and client-focused approach.
