Family Legal Secretary

Are you an experienced Legal Secretary looking to join a friendly, supportive Family Law team where your contribution is genuinely valued?

Our client is looking for an organised and proactive Family Legal Secretary to provide high-quality secretarial and administrative support to a busy Fee Earner within their established Family Law department in Leeds.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same, offering the opportunity to work closely with clients and play an important part in the smooth running of a busy caseload.

You'll provide comprehensive support across a broad range of Family Law matters, including:

• Divorce and financial settlements
• Children arrangements
• Cohabitation and separation agreements
• Injunctions and domestic abuse matters

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Audio typing and transcription of dictation
• Preparing court documents and bundles
• Managing the Fee Earner's diary and appointments
• Handling telephone and email enquiries
• Assisting with client onboarding and ID checks
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date client files
• Assisting with billing and general office administration
• Providing professional, friendly and responsive client care

What are they looking for?

Our client is keen to hear from experienced Legal Secretaries, ideally with previous Family Law experience, although this is not essential for the right candidate.

You'll need:

• Excellent audio typing skills with speed and accuracy
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Confident communication skills and a professional approach to client care
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office
• The ability to manage competing priorities in a busy environment
• Previous legal secretarial experience

Experience of Proclaim would be advantageous, but it's not essential, as training will be provided.

If you're looking for a role where you can utilise your legal secretarial skills within a friendly and busy Family Law environment, this could be an excellent next step.

You'll be joining a team where your organisational skills, attention to detail and client-focused approach will make a real difference.
