This position is particularly well suited to a career Legal PA or Legal Secretary/Assistant who enjoys providing exceptional legal support, rather than someone seeking progression towards qualification.

Litigation Support
  • Assisting with the preparation and filing of court documents in line with deadlines and procedures
  • Coordinating disclosure, witness statements and trial bundles
  • Liaising with counsel, experts, clients and court officials
  • Tracking key dates, deadlines and limitation periods
Team & Client Support
  • Supporting communication within the litigation team and across the wider firm
  • Managing billing, time recording and client account matters
  • Delivering a consistently high level of client care and confidentiality
About You
  • Minimum of 3 years’ experience as a Legal PA or Legal Secretary within a law firm
  • Previous experience in Litigation or Dispute Resolution is highly desirable
  • Strong knowledge of court procedures and e-filing systems (CE-File)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • High attention to detail and ability to work calmly under pressure
  • Confident, discreet and professional manner
Desirable:
  • Experience supporting a Partner
  • Knowledge of LEAP or similar practice management systems
  • Familiarity with monthly billing processes
What’s On Offer
  • Salary up to £35,000 depending on experience
  • Supportive, friendly working environment with low turnover
  • Autonomy in your role with ongoing learning and development opportunities
  • 21 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, plus a minimum of 3 additional days over Christmas/New Year
  • Annual bonus and additional benefits
  • Hybrid working may be considered after a 6-month probation, at Partner discretion
If you’re an experienced Legal PA looking for a stable, long-term role within a genuinely nice firm where your contribution is valued, this could be an excellent next step.
