About the firm

This is a highly respected specialist practice of around 25 lawyers. The environment is professional but down-to-earth, with a strong emphasis on empathy, teamwork and supporting one another.

The firm works with both corporate clients and individuals, including people who may be unwell or navigating stressful situations, so maturity, compassion and strong professional boundaries are important.

• Brief and transcription preparation, including periods of high volume;

• Maintaining electronic-only filing to support efficient information management;

• Overflow reception assistance when required; and

• General legal secretarial support, including drafting, formatting and billing.

About you

We would love to hear from you if you have:

• Legal secretarial experience (employment law or litigation experience is ideal);
