  • Drafting and preparing legal documents that require further knowledge, consideration and input based on analysis and understanding of information gathered.
  • Providing legal advice, under the supervision of a qualified advisor, that resolves queries and advances clients’ instructions and cases.
  • Assessing and understanding client queries and file notes to identify actions and advice required and manage and guide the progression of a client file.
  • Attend external meetings and events including but not limited to hearings, court appearances, client meetings and networking events.
  • Maintain, monitor and update the appropriate systems and documents with client and case information, data and file notes.
  • Carry out and deliver accurate and up-to-date legal research.
  • Taking and processing new telephone enquiries for the team.
  • Attendance at Court and other Forbes’ office as and when required.
  • Attendance and promotion of the Firm at Business Development events.
  • Contribution to the overall financial performance of the team by way of a fee target.
  • Write original high-quality articles and reports for internal and external publication.
  • Manage regular and up-to-date communications with clients and stakeholders, answering queries, managing expectations (including costs), providing updates and effectively chasing responses required and escalating appropriately.
