  • Rare opportunity to step up into a fee earning/legal advisor role
  • Full training and development provided
  • Award-winning Yorkshire law firm

A highly respected Yorkshire law firm is looking for a Private Client Legal Assistant to join its well-established Wills and Probate team in Wakefield in a role that will involve some fee earning and will therefore be an exciting step up from a purely secretarial position.

The successful candidate could be a legal secretary, legal assistant or paralegal who has had some exposure to drafting wills and lasting powers of attorney (LPAs) and has aspirations to have a successful and longstanding legal career.

You’ll have plenty of room to progress as the firm will invest in your development from day one, providing training for you to become a true legal advisor.

You’ll have exposure to clients and eventually build up your own client base.

The firm is award-winning in the Yorkshire Legal Market and is one of the fastest growing companies of all sectors in the region.
