job
legal secretary
CMS Cameron McKenna.
in the Real Estate Disputes team at CMS Cameron McKenna. During this role I have developed upon:
• Organisation - I help to arrange meetings, manage diaries and I am constantly re-arranging my tasks for the day to ensure that deadlines are met (this is particularly important while working in disputes as the deadlines are very strict);
• Flexibility - I have built upon my ability to adapt and change task to ensure that urgent deadlines are met - I also make certain that I keep a record of which tasks are outstanding so that I return to anything I may have had to stop doing to guarantee that nothing is missed;
• General secretarial skills - a typical day in my role involves:
- Performing a range of tasks given via digital dictation;
- Creating new matters, maintaining the matters to ensure information is correct and closing them;
- Arranging meetings, events and travel;
- Deeds management - Ensuring that deed schedules are correct and up-to-date, requesting deeds, returning deeds and updating an online system to show where deeds are.
I currently work within a team of four secretaries. We cover each other's work if someone is absent which has been beneficial as this has allowed me to work for a range of people who use different styles and techniques within their work so I have experienced a variety of working practices. I am able to work within the team (if we have a big project then we all work together to ensure it is finished on time) or to work independently to ensure that my personal deadlines for the fee earners that I work for are met (I currently work for a partner, an executive, three solicitors, a trainee solicitor and a paralegal). I am also a member of the Ablaze Reading Scheme - this involves visiting a local primary school to read with the children during my lunch break, I enjoy this as it is great to see the children improve their reading and become more confident doing so.
