Legal Secretary

Role Overview & Responsibilities

We are looking for an experienced legal secretary to work at our busy criminal practice at Wood Green, London N22.

• Supporting our lawyers with typing, printing and drafting documents and emails.
• Supporting our lawyers by taking incoming calls, including dealing with new and existing clients and booking appointments and liaising with third parties.
• Carrying out administrative tasks, including photocopying, scanning, preparing documents for signing and dealing with stationery orders.

Experience & Knowledge;

We are seeking an experienced Legal Secretary to provide support to our lawyers. The ideal candidate will have previous experience working in criminal law and with an electronic case management system but this is not essential and training will be provided inhouse.
