Legal Secretary (Trust & Estates)

The Firm

We're excited to be partnering with our client, based in the heart of Christchurch's vibrant CBD, to offer a unique opportunity within their Trusts & Estates team, arising from an upcoming retirement.

This medium-sized, modern firm offers a full range of legal services and is well regarded for its strong profile paired with a down-to-earth culture. They pride themselves on being a family-friendly workplace with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, all while delivering top-tier service to their clients.

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity for a Trusts & Estates support specialist to play a key role within a small, dynamic team of three authors plus others from time to time.

This role is ideal for a Legal Secretary with experience in trusts and estates, including the preparation, updating, and reviewing of trust-related documents such as wills and enduring powers of attorney (EPOAs), as well as estate administration. You may also handle overflow work from other legal practice areas across the firm.

You'll bring exceptional communication and people skills, along with an empathetic, professional approach to clients. Strong organisational and prioritisation skills will ensure you thrive while working autonomously, with support and guidance from the team.

Your success is a priority for our client, with mentorship, development, and career progression actively encouraged.

For the right candidate, reduced hours will be considered.
