Key responsibilities include:

• Managing calls and client communications professionally
• Supporting lawyers and consultants with day-to-day admin
• Opening and closing matters using case management systems
• Preparing correspondence and legal documents
• Conducting AML and client due diligence checks
• Assisting with compliance, research, and invoicing
• Supporting marketing initiatives, including social media and events
• General office and administrative support

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Highly organised with strong time management skills
• A proactive self-starter who can also thrive in a team
• Confident in communication and client interaction
• Eager to learn, grow, and take on new challenges
