The role will offer variety and will suit someone who enjoys being a key part of a legal team and taking ownership of the day-to-day administrative requirements.

About You

We are looking for someone with previous legal secretarial experience, ideally gained within Private Client, Litigation or another contentious legal practice area.

You will be:

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Confident managing electronic files and legal documentation
• Comfortable managing diaries, deadlines and competing priorities
• Experienced in preparing professional correspondence and documentation
• Confident using Microsoft Office and legal case management systems

Previous experience preparing Letters of Engagement, court bundles and legal files would be particularly advantageous.

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-regarded boutique law firm where you will be working closely with experienced lawyers and become an important part of the Private Client and Litigation teams.

The part-time nature of the role offers an excellent opportunity for someone looking for greater flexibility while remaining within a professional legal environment.

With free onsite parking, a supportive team and a varied workload, this is an opportunity that would suit a legal secretary looking for a long-term part-time position with a respected Bristol practice. There is scope for the role to grow and develop with hours and days.
