A busy, multi-practice high street firm is seeking a Legal Assistant/Secretary with experience in Family Law to support two Fee Earners. The firm is fast-paced, so prior Family Law experience is highly preferred.
We welcome applications from candidates looking for a long-term secretarial/assistant role, as well as those eager to progress within the firm.
