A leading UK law firm is seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Legal Assistant to join its Claims Team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. Based in Somerset, this is a hybrid role with occasional office attendance, offering flexibility alongside the opportunity to work with a highly regarded legal team specialising in insurance-related matters.
The successful candidate will support the team with administrative and legal tasks including document management, data entry, report preparation, and client liaison. Prior experience in a legal, insurance, or professional services environment is desirable, along with strong IT skills and a collaborative mindset. A-levels (or equivalent) are preferred, and either a CII Foundation qualification or legal training (LLB or LPC) would be a distinct advantage.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain exposure to high-quality work in a supportive and well-established team. The firm offers a strong culture of development, flexible working, and the chance to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking legal environment.
