Legal Administrator

Looking for a role where you can build your experience in law and become part of a growing team?

I'm working with a growing specialist criminal defence firm in Warrington that's looking for a Legal Administrator to join its team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being organised, keeping things running smoothly and working in a busy, people-focused environment. You'll play an important part in supporting the wider team and helping ensure the day-to-day running of the firm is as efficient as possible.

A little about the firm

The firm specialises in the defence of sexual offences and domestic violence allegations, representing clients facing some of the most serious and sensitive allegations within the criminal justice system.

It's led by an experienced criminal defence lawyer who has taken the leap to build her own practice, with a clear vision for growing the business organically and bringing the right people on board.

Having already outgrown its original office and moved into larger premises in Warrington town centre, the firm is going from strength to strength. It's a genuinely exciting time to join and become part of the team as the business continues to grow.

What will the role involve?

As Legal Administrator, you'll provide essential administrative support to help keep the office and legal team organised and running smoothly.

Your responsibilities are likely to include:

• Providing general administrative and secretarial support to the legal team.
• Managing incoming calls, emails and correspondence professionally.
• Organising files, maintaining records and keeping documents up to date.
• Assisting with document preparation, scanning, filing and data entry.
• Supporting the team with appointments, diary management and general office coordination
• Helping ensure important deadlines and administrative tasks are kept on track.
• Handling sensitive and confidential information with care and professionalism.

Who would suit this role?

We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive and takes pride in getting the details right.

You'll ideally be someone who is:

• Experienced in an administrative, office support or legal administration role, although transferable experience may also be considered.
• Confident communicating with people over the phone and by email.
• Comfortable managing multiple tasks and prioritising your workload.
• Professional, reliable and discreet when handling confidential information.
• A team player who is happy to get involved and support wherever needed.

Previous experience in a law firm would be beneficial, but a positive attitude, strong organisational skills and a willingness to learn are just as important.

Why consider this opportunity?

• Join a growing firm: Be part of a business that is expanding and investing in its future.
• Make a real contribution: Play an important role in supporting the team and keeping the office running smoothly.
• Work in a specialist legal environment: Gain valuable exposure to the day-to-day running of a criminal defence practice.
