Legal Secretary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Legal Secretary to join a well-established Wills, Trusts & Estates team in Southampton.

My client is a leading Legal 200 law firm. You will be assisting experienced Fee-Earners in their caseloads with a role that's fast-paced and varied throughout.

The role will be to support fee earners with the following:

• Typing from dictation and producing documents


• Preparation of various documentation


• Dealing with telephone enquiries, both internal and external


• Being the first point of contact for the team


• Communication with clients


• File compliance


• Diary management


• Filing and general administration
  
  Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal


• Highly organised


• Accurate typing and input of information skills


• A good team player


• Flexible and proactive approach


• Good IT skills, particularly in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)


• Willing to take ownership and be accountable for own work


• Tax & Estate Planning experience would be a distinct advantage, but not essential


You will receive further training and development throughout your career from day one. The successful candidate will also be able to take advantage of the hybrid working policy which is a minimum of 5 days a fortnight in the office.

In order to apply, you would ideally have pre-existing Wills, Trusts and Probate experience in place, however the firm would be keen to review candidates from an administrative background that wish to transition this into a career within law.
