Aspire Jobs are working with our professional services client to recruit an experienced Secretary to work with their busy and growing Construction team.
This is a perfect time to join a growing and progressively thinking team and firm.
The successful Secretary will provide support to fee earners and partners who are focused on providing a very high-quality legal service to their clients. You will act as a vital point of contact for clients and colleagues.
The position requires excellent organisational skills, strong attention to detail, and confidence managing a varied workload in a fast‑paced environment. The ideal candidate will ideally have prior experience supporting a legal team (ideally within construction, property or litigation), be IT‑literate with a strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office, and confident using modern document management systems. A positive, friendly, and proactive approach is essential.
If you dont have legal experience then you must have previous secretarial experience.
Job Role
Working with contractors, developers, landowners and other professional advisers, the team supports clients in putting the right contractual structures in place and provides strategic advice as disputes arise, including representation in Court proceedings, adjudication and mediation.
As the full time Legal Secretary, you will provide efficient secretarial and administrative support to the fee earners, including liaising with clients, audio typing, document production, and file and diary management. You will also provide limited support with compliance and billing processes, working alongside another Legal Secretary who leads on these areas
