• Attending client meetings and taking notes, handling calls and managing diaries
• Audio and copy typing
• Working with the business support team on file opening and closing
• Recording time accurately and working towards billable targets
• Supporting other paralegals and assistants within the team and across the firm

What they're looking for

• Previous experience as a paralegal or legal assistant in a law firm
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• Confident written and verbal communication
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office
