Our Senior Legal Assistants play a crucial role in the ongoing management of client matters and are instrumental in helping our lawyers achieve the best possible outcomes for their clients.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a career Legal Assistant who is looking for that "next step" opportunity that entails more responsibility and a greater level of involvement in the day-to-day management of client matters.
