- Supporting fee earners and contributing to overall team performance and KPIs.
- Responding to new client enquiries and supporting business development activity.
- Ensuring compliance with firm-wide procedures and regulatory requirements.
- Keeping up to date with legal developments and best practice.

- Strong communication and client-handling skills, with a compassionate approach.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively in a busy environment.
- Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and case management systems.
- Analytical and proactive, with a willingness to learn and develop.
- A collaborative team player with a positive and enthusiastic attitude.
- Professional, discreet, and committed to delivering high levels of client service.



What We Offer:
