Family Legal Secretary / Assistant

G2 Legal Limited ,
Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear

Overview

This well-established Legal 500 firm is looking to strengthen its Family department with the addition of a legal secretary/legal assistant in their Newcastle office. As a family legal secretary/legal assistant, you will assist one or two of the solicitors in the Family department, helping them manage their caseload. This will mean you will have a more hands-on approach than typical secretarial roles and will be expected to assist in particular legal matters. Alongside the secretarial duties such as word processing/typing, sorting of post, updating diaries, filing and taking client calls, you will also act in a legal assistant capacity whereby you progress cases, complete legal forms and documents, liaise with clients and third parties on behalf of the solicitors. Given the legal assistant duties, experience in family law is desirable. Applications from candidates possessing experience in similar areas of law in a secretarial/assistant capacity will also be considered. The successful applicant will be rewarded with a competitive salary and extensive company benefits. This is a perfect opportunity for a family legal secretary looking to gain experience in more of a legal assistant capacity. Equally, this would be great for a legal assistant looking to move into family work from a similar area of law.
