Join a Dynamic and Growing Employment Law Firm!

Are you a people person with a passion for communication and an interest in law? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can learn, grow, and make a real impact?

At The Employment Solicitor, we’re not your typical law firm. We’re a modern, client-focused organisation providing employment law services on a national scale. We’re committed to fighting for our clients’ rights while fostering a supportive, inclusive, and empowering workplace for our team.

About the Role

As a Client Liaison / Legal Assistant, you will be the first point of contact for new clients, providing a warm and professional welcome while assisting with initial enquiries. You will play a key role in ensuring clients feel comfortable and valued while gaining valuable experience in legal administration.

This is an entry-level role, ideal for a graduate with experience in customer service, telephone-based work, or client-facing roles. You’ll gain hands-on exposure to legal processes, and as you develop, you’ll have the opportunity to progress at your own pace—whether that’s moving into a Paralegal position or other legal career paths.

Key Responsibilities

• Client Communication: Answer incoming calls, handle new enquiries professionally, and accurately record key details.
• Client Reception: Meet and greet clients visiting the office, ensuring they feel welcome, offering refreshments, and engaging in light conversation.
• Legal Administration: Assist with basic admin tasks such as document preparation, filing, and updating case records.
• Coordination: Liaise with solicitors and clients to ensure seamless communication and efficient scheduling.
• Learning & Development: Gain valuable legal exposure, with opportunities to progress into a Paralegal role and beyond.

About You

✔ Graduate-level education (law background is a plus but not essential).
✔ Experience in customer service, client relations, or telephone-based roles.
✔ Confident and professional communicator – in person and over the phone.
✔ Friendly, approachable, and able to put clients at ease.
✔ Organised and detail-oriented, with strong admin skills.
✔ Eager to learn and develop in a legal environment.

What We Offer

✨ A supportive and inclusive workplace culture.
Ongoing training and mentorship to develop legal knowledge.
Clear progression path to roles like Paralegal, at your own pace.
A modern, dynamic law firm that values innovation and flexibility.

If you’re ambitious, eager to learn, and want to kick-start a career in law, we’d love to hear from you!
