Assisting with file opening/closing and compliance checks
Audio typing/dictation and administrative support as required

Experience within a private client legal support role, either as a Legal Secretary/Assistant or Paralegal
Strong organisational skills and a keen eye for detail
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a professional and empathetic manner
Confident working as part of a small team and able to take initiative when needed
A flexible, proactive attitude and genuine interest in Private Client work
