- Attending client meetings and taking notes, handling calls and managing diaries
- Audio and copy typing
- Working with the business support team on file opening and closing
- Recording time accurately and working towards billable targets
- Supporting other paralegals and assistants within the team and across the firm
What they’re looking for

- Strong organisation and attention to detail
