Are you an experienced Legal Secretary looking for your next opportunity within a friendly, established Private Client team?

I'm currently recruiting for my client in Merry Hill, who are looking for a confident and organised Legal Secretary to join their Private Client department.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being the person who keeps everything moving - supporting fee earners, staying on top of deadlines and making sure clients receive a first-class service.

Using Microsoft Word, Outlook and Excel to keep things organised
Managing your workload effectively and ensuring deadlines are met

Previous experience within a law firm
Excellent organisational and administrative skills
Good knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Word, Outlook and Excel
Strong written and verbal communication skills
The ability to manage competing priorities and work to deadlines
A professional, friendly and client-focused approach
Why this firm over others?

You'll be joining a supportive and professional team where your contribution genuinely matters.
