Legal secretary

Legal secretaries provide administrative support that keeps legal practices running — managing correspondence, documents, calendars, and client contact. The work involves drafting and formatting legal documents, scheduling, handling filings and deadlines, and acting as a point of contact for clients and courts.

They work in law firms, corporate legal teams, and government offices. The role suits organised, discreet people with strong administrative and language skills who can manage competing demands, protect confidentiality, and keep busy lawyers on top of their commitments.
