We advise businesses and individuals on areas including corporate commercial, employment, business and civil litigation, family law, wills, trusts and probate and more. There are 9 current members of staff in our Leeds office ranging from employment, corporate, insolvency and litigation.
About The Role
You’ll keep our Leeds office running day to day: looking after clients and visitors, supporting our solicitors with documents and files, and chasing unpaid invoices.
The hours are fixed, 10am-3:30pm, Monday to Friday, so the role fits around other commitments. Legal experience helps but isn’t essential if you’re organised and quick to pick up new systems.

- Schedule meetings and appointments, and keep diaries up to date.
- Prepare, format and proofread letters and legal documents.
- Prepare documents for meetings, hearings and client appointments.
- Open and close client files, and collect the ID and other documents we need from new clients.
- Update client and matter details on our case management system.
- Scan, print, upload and file documents, and keep electronic and paper files in order.
- Chase unpaid client invoices by phone and email.
- Give general administrative support to partners, solicitors and the wider team.
- Order stationery and supplies, and keep the office organised.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Organised and accurate, with a good eye for detail.
- Friendly and confident with clients, in person and on the phone.
- Comfortable asking clients to pay what they owe, politely and persistently.
- Able to prioritise when several things need doing at once.
- Discreet with confidential information.
- Confident with Microsoft Word and Outlook, and quick to learn new systems.
Experience
- Previous administrative or office-based experience.
- Experience in a law firm or professional services firm.
- Experience using a case management or document management system.
- Familiarity with legal terminology.
- Experience chasing payments or in credit control.
What We Offer
- Fixed daytime hours: 10am-3:30pm, Monday to Friday.
- Lunch provided by the firm.
- A friendly, supportive team and the chance to build experience in the legal sector.
- Death in service life insurance
We welcome applications from everyone. If you need any adjustments to apply or to attend an interview, let us know in your email.
