Legal Assistant / Litigation Support / Legal Secretary / Litigation Assistant

Preston or Blackburn office Full time, permanent, 35 hours, 5 days per week

Salary + bonus + benefits to balance your work life.

If your ideal lunch break involves a walk along the reservoir or city park rather than circling a city centre block, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Our Blackburn office sits near the reservoir and Preston office close to Avenham Park so lunchtime walks are encouraged for someone who genuinely enjoys being part of an office environment, collaborating with colleagues and building great relationships with clients.

This is not a role where you will spend your days hidden behind a screen at home. Our lawyers are looking for a colleague who enjoys the buzz of office life.

Working closely with experienced litigation lawyers, helping to progress a varied caseload and ensuring clients receive an outstanding service.

Expect plenty of variety, including:

• Collaborating directly with clients and professional contacts
• Supporting lawyers with case progression and administration
• Managing diaries and arranging meetings
• Undertaking research and preparing documents
• Handling client enquiries
• Assisting with billing, compliance, and file management
• Playing a key role in keeping the team organised and running smoothly.

You do not necessarily need decades of experience, but you are someone who:

• Enjoys collaborating with people and building relationships.
• Is organised, proactive, and loves keeping things on track.
• Communicates well
• Takes pride in delivering great client service.
• Enjoys being part of a team and contributing to the wider office community.

Experience within litigation would be a real advantage, particularly if you have worked as a Legal Assistant, Legal Secretary, or in a similar legal support role.

Because some jobs offer more than a desk. At Napthens, we are ambitious, friendly, and collaborative. Working with specialists from across the firm, build relationships throughout the office, and become part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
