- **Administrative Support**: Manage client files, prepare expense claims, and organise travel and accommodation.
#### Essential Skills and Experience:
- **Legal PA Experience**: Previous experience in a similar role within Employment Litigation and ideally Commercial law.
- **Technical Proficiency**: Excellent keyboard skills with a minimum typing speed of 65 wpm, and strong knowledge of Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- **Organisational Skills**: Methodical and organised approach with the ability to prioritise tasks effectively.
- **Communication**: Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with a professional telephone manner.
- **Team Player**: Ability to integrate within a team and work independently, showing initiative and a proactive attitude.
- **Adaptability**: Flexible and able to adapt to changing practices and competing priorities.
#### Desired Attributes:
- **Attention to Detail**: High standard of accuracy and presentation in all correspondence and documentation.
- **Client Focused**: Deliver quality service to both internal and external clients.
- **Positive Attitude**: Friendly, helpful, and with a good sense of humour.
This role is perfect for a self-motivated individual looking to make a significant impact within a respected legal team. If you possess the skills and experience detailed above, this could be the ideal next step in your career.
