We work in an incredibly fast paced, high-pressured environment (we really cannot stress this enough) so it is extremely important that you respond to all of your emails throughout the day, understanding the sense of urgency associated with instructions received and prioritise accordingly.

Qualifications* GCSE's in English, Maths and IT at Grade C or above;Training* We hold the position of the market leader in the niche of motoring law. This is a highly technical area of criminal law where even the most experienced general crime solicitors have little knowledge of the various strategies we apply to our cases.* Our Legal Assistants are not here to do general basic admin, often the case at large law firms, the role is much more comprehensive and fast paced as detailed above. We expect very high standards and maintain those with regular performance management and training for all new starters regardless of experience.
