Office Manager – Law Firm

Location: Belfast

Salary: Competitive DOE

We are working with an established Belfast law firm that is looking to appoint an experienced Office Manager to support the day-to-day running of its office.

This is a broad role combining office management responsibilities with a small amount of legal casework. The firm handles a high volume of defence litigation matters, so the position would suit someone who is comfortable working in a busy legal environment and taking ownership of both operational and file-related responsibilities.

The Role

You will be responsible for:

  • Overseeing the day-to-day running of the Belfast office.
  • Helping to coordinate workloads, administration and general office operations.
  • Supporting solicitors and other members of the legal team.
  • Ensuring files, systems and internal processes are kept organised and up to date.
  • Assisting with the management of a small number of legal case files.
  • Liaising with clients and other parties where required.
  • Supporting the wider team across a high-volume caseload.
  • Helping to ensure deadlines and administrative requirements are met.
  • Taking responsibility for general office issues as they arise.

The Person

We are looking for someone with:

  • Previous experience working within a law firm or legal environment.
  • Strong organisational and office management skills.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities in a busy office.
  • Experience dealing with legal files or casework.
  • Strong communication skills and a professional approach.
  • Confidence working independently and taking ownership of responsibilities.
  • Litigation experience would be beneficial, particularly within a high-volume environment.
