You will help lawyers with billing tasks, record time and disbursements accurately, and provide information to support the prompt issue of invoices. You will also respond to financial queries and liaise with internal teams where required.

In addition, you will carry out general administrative duties such as document management, photocopying and other support tasks that keep the team running efficiently.

This is perfect for someone who enjoys structured work, has a sharp eye for detail and wants to build or develop a career in legal administration within a supportive property recoveries team.
