Kennedys is looking for a Legal Secretary to join our Casualty Coverage team based in London. The successful candidate will also work as part of the Property, Energy and Construction team.
Team
Kennedys' Casualty Coverage team advises on high value and complex coverage disputes, which tend to involve more than one jurisdiction, sometimes resulting in forum and choice of law disputes.
Kennedys' Property, Energy and Construction team specialise in insurance claims, assisting insurers and reinsurers of major multi-national companies in relation to their global exposures. We provide coverage advice and defend high-value, international and complex claims. We have been instructed on some of the market's most high profile claims, up to billions-of-pounds in claim value.
Key Responsibilities
1. Manage and prioritise tasks according to urgency for fee earners in both the Casualty Coverage and Property, Energy and Construction team.
2. Access and store copy reports, correspondence and documents produced by the Document Production Team.
3. Seek to develop knowledge of the team practice area, learning how it operates and adhering to it.
4. Take and record accurate messages and pass on to the appropriate person without unnecessary delay.
5. Attend to clients both on the telephone and in person in a professional manner.
Required Experience
1. Previous secretarial experience.
2. Competent knowledge about legal practice.
3. Proficient in word processing/office software.
