That said, high proficiency in all Microsoft Office packages would be very beneficial.

- To assist the department as appropriate, dealing with travel and accommodation arrangements, the management of fee earners' diaries and arrangement of client meetings, seminars and other relevant functions

- Provide an effective, timely and efficient service to the firm's clients
- Maintain excellent service standards and high client satisfaction
- Uphold high professional standards within the Department including producing quality documentation
- Communicate with clients and other contacts in a professional and courteous manner.
This is the Junior Legal Secretary role that appeals to all with Litigation experience:
If you're working locally and looking to make the transition to an ambitious Legal practice;
If you're a Team Assistant or Administration Assistant looking for that next step on the career ladder;
If you'd prefer to work at a Medium sized Law firm that emphasises inclusion and team work;
If you'd like to work in a busy role, picking up diverse Legal knowledge, learning from other Secretaries and expanding your CV…!
