Description
About Us
Our client is a small, close-knit law firm in the heart of Cambridge. They pride themselves on providing a professional yet friendly service to our clients, building long-term relationships based on trust and expertise.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Legal Secretary to join our team. This is a full-time, office-based position supporting our solicitors across a range of matters. While general legal secretary experience is essential, experience in civil litigation and commercial property would be a strong advantage.
This is very much a secretarial role — we are looking for someone who takes pride in this career path and is committed to delivering high-quality administrative and client support.
Key Responsibilities
*
Providing full secretarial and administrative support to fee earners
*
Managing case files and using our case management system effectively
*
Preparing legal documents and correspondence
*
Audio and copy typing
*
Liaising with clients, courts, and third parties
*
Filing, photocopying, and maintaining accurate records
*
General office duties as required
What We’re Looking For
*
Minimum 12 months of office-based experience, ideally within a legal environment
*
A genuine interest in being a career legal secretary (not a stepping stone role)
*
Stable work history — ideally someone who hasn’t moved roles frequently
*
Experience with case management systems
*
Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and accuracy
*
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
*
Team player with a friendly and approachable manner
What We Offer
*
£23,000+ per annum
*
Annual pay review each October
*
21 days annual leave + bank holidays
*
Office closure over Christmas
*
Supportive and friendly working environment in a small, close-knit team
Interview Process
*
Informal interview with two Directors and the Practice Manager
*
Relaxed conversation to get to know you and hear what interested you in the role
