Are you a highly organised and experienced Legal Secretary with a background in Family Law? If so, our client, an excellent law firm, will want to speak with you. They are looking for a confident and capable professional to support the Head of their busy Family Department on a part-time basis, working 3 days per week.

This is a varied and rewarding role that requires someone with excellent attention to detail, great people skills, and a calm, efficient approach. You’ll be an essential part of the team, helping them deliver exceptional support to clients during what can be a challenging time in their lives.

To be considered, you must have recent experience working in a Family Law department.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Accurate and fast audio typing (ideally 65 wpm)
• Managing correspondence and phone calls with sensitivity and professionalism
• Preparing electronic court bundles using Adobe PDF tools
• Opening and managing client files, including ID checks and compliance documents
• Creating and editing legal forms (including Oyez and court applications)
• Liaising with Counsel and preparing/distributing bills and disbursement notes
• Filing post, emails and documents using the case management system
• Using online portals (HMCTS, Land Registry) to support the legal process
• Running WIP reports and assisting with billing
• General administrative support to the Head of Department

You’ll need strong IT skills, including Word, Outlook, Excel, and case management systems. Excellent client care is essential — many of the clients are going through sensitive situations and your support can make all the difference.

In return, you’ll join a friendly and supportive team in a well-established, progressive law firm with excellent transport links in North London.
