Legal Assistant

Fox Williams offers a different career lifestyle to that of many of our much larger competitors.  The quality of our work is extremely high and the standard of our lawyers (associates) and support staff is equal to that of any major City firm. As a smaller firm, we also consider ourselves to be far more personal and friendly.  You will quickly get to know everyone from the Senior Partner to the most junior staff.  Many of our staff join us from top firms for that very reason. As a general rule, we look for a very strong academic background coupled with good relevant experience. 

Fox Williams has an established and ambitious Employment practice.

We are looking for a Legal Assistant to support the daily administrative function of our Employment Department.

This is an exciting opportunity to shine and progress in a role within a firm that actively strives to be the best in the industry and is committed to the development of its people.

The Legal Assistant will act as a workflow manager for other support services including delegating and supervising the completion of document production, file management and copying/scanning work.

The Legal Assistant will take an active interest in and obtain a thorough understanding of all aspects of client requirements in order to provide exceptional service levels to both the lawyers and clients.
