Legal Assistant

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a fast -paced legal
environment where you will be involved in a wide variety of work – from
preparing legal documents and managing case files to liaising with clients and
supporting fee earners on complex matters.

legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses since 1898. As a
progressive, full -service law firm, we’re driven by growth and innovation,
continuously expanding our reach to meet the diverse needs of our clients. With
nearly 300 dedicated professionals, we’re proud to be recognised as an employer
