Legal Administrative Assistant
CurrentWorking within a dynamic and progressive law office in Edinburgh, my role required me to perform my duties with a huge sense of professionalism and diligence, with strong sensitivity towards vulnerable people and sensitive topics. My duties within this role have included serving legal documents, storing and retrieving files, managing incoming and outgoing communications, handling external legal enquiries, providing billing services and supporting the solicitors in ongoing legal cases. A huge part of my role involves communicating effectively both within the business and with external parties such as courts, current and prospective clients, mail and delivery services and other businesses within the legal industry. It has also been vital to my role that I uphold data protection and GDPR practices. Due to the nature of some of the sensitive topics that our business deals with, it has been extremely important to ensure confidentiality is met within the business and that I treat those around me with extreme empathy and diplomacy.Working within TC Young has given me a deep passion for social issues such as housing and the legal system. I am very interested in exploring these areas more and building upon my understanding of these topics. I have also gained a desire to work more within forward-thinking and innovative work environments where I can utilise my critical thinking skills and my passion for people.
