About Eversheds Sutherland:
Eversheds Sutherland is not your average law firm and we're not looking for average people. We do things differently - in the way we treat our people and the service we provide. That's how we've become one of the largest law firms in the world and a great place to work and develop your career.
The Eversheds Sutherland construction and engineering group is one of the largest specialist teams in the world. We provide clear, commercial, concise and timely legal advice. We find the simplest and most cost-effective route to achieving client objectives and use well-written, intelligible, state of the art documents.
Key responsibilities:
We are looking for a Legal Assistant to join our Construction team in Cardiff.
The Legal Assistant will assist a team of Construction solicitors with a non-contentious, large-scale and long-term project including:
i) obtaining project specific information from the client for various agreements;
ii) populating agreements with project specific information obtained from the client;
iii) arranging for the execution of multiple agreements; and
iv) tracking the status of multiple agreements, ensuring that the matter runs as efficiently and progresses as quickly as possible.
Skills and experience:
The Legal Assistant should have a law degree and have had work experience in a legal environment (including experience of managing multiple matters at the same time or a high case load).
Key competencies:
The Legal Assistant should have a positive outlook, be confident and adaptable and be used to working as part of a team. Excellent IT, administration and organisational skills and attention to detail are required together with excellent written communication skills.
In addition to the above,
Eversheds Sutherland also requires consciousness and full participation in the Firm's commitment to equality and diversity, the environment and health and safety.
