At MMC Legal, we pride ourselves on being a modern, forward-thinking law firm that values innovation, collaboration, and professional growth. We offer a dynamic and supportive environment where you can develop your legal career and take ownership of your workload.

This role is ideal for a motivated Legal Executive (or Legal Secretary) looking for an opportunity beyond the traditional support role. Unlike a typical legal secretary position, this role offers autonomy—you will be part of a team, managing your own workload rather than working solely in support of one solicitor.

What sets this role apart?

• No audio typing – this is a proactive role focused on case management and legal support.
• Independence – manage and prioritise your own tasks while working collaboratively within the team.
• Modern working environment – MMC Legal is a predominantly paperless office.
