We are looking for a full-time Legal Assistant to join our Private Client team at our Corsham office to work alongside a fellow legal assistant and support a lawyer with various admin and secretarial tasks.
Daily duties will include:
The Private Client team within the office currently comprises of three lawyers and a full-time legal assistant.
The Corsham office itself is home to a further four support team members and eight lawyers spread across our Family, Employment and Residential Property departments.
The Private Client department is based at six of our seven offices.
Our support team members have joined the firm having come from a variety of previous roles. They all work cohesively to support one another and you will be paired up with an experienced assistant when you join so that you receive in-depth on-the-job training.
Previous experience of working within a legal sector is not essential as full training on the Private Client practice area will be given.
You will need to possess strong organisational and prioritisation skills and be able to manage your own workload. The role will involve quite a lot of client contact so being able to maintain confidentiality at all times along with excellent interpersonal and communication skills is essential.
We carefully chose our values as a firm to ensure they reflect the way we conduct our work, both internally and externally. We embrace 5 core values; Trust, Teamwork, Excellence, Accountability, and Engagement. We reflect these in all areas of our practice, in particular, in our personal and dedicated service to each and every client. By embedding these values into our culture our clients recognise us as trusted advisors.
Our commitment to our clients and hard work over the years is reflected in the ‘Leading Firm‘ ranking that we have achieved for consecutive years from the prestigious Chambers & Partners, and Legal 500 directories. As a firm, we intend to continue to dedicate ourselves to our values in the pursuit of trusted advisor status.
