Your dedication to providing exceptional client service, together with your enthusiasm, adaptability and willingness to work as part of a collaborative team, will be highly valued.

As this is a part-time position, strong organisational and time management skills will be essential, along with the ability to effectively manage competing priorities and work autonomously when required.

Some of the key skills, qualities and attributes we are looking for include:

  • Proficiency in legal software and document management systems. Experience with iManage and Aderant would be advantageous.

  • Self-confidence, initiative and a professional approach to all dealings.
