The role provides drafting support, file and deadline management, research assistance, and administrative support on client matters — keeping the firm's matters organized, documented, and on schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide drafting support to lawyers: routine correspondence, legal notices, document preparation, and formatting to the firm's standards.

• Manage matter files, deadline, and case documentation; keep files audit-ready at all times.

• Coordinate hearings, meetings, and appointments; prepare hearing bundles and meeting materials.

• Assist with legal research and prepare research summaries under supervision.

• Support court and authority filings and related logistics.

• Handle client communication logistics: meeting arrangements, attendance notes, and status updates as directed.

• Support time recording, billing administration, and matter-opening procedures.

• Work in the firm's systems, including the practice-management system and internal tools.

Desired Candidate Profile

• Degree or diploma in law or legal studies; an LL.B.

• Minimum [1–2] years of experience as a legal assistant or in a similar support role, preferably in a law firm or legal consultancy.

• Strong written and spoken English; Arabic (written and spoken) is a strong advantage, particularly for document preparation.

• Strong organization, attention to detail, and deadline reliability; able to support several lawyers and matters simultaneously.

• Proficiency in standard office software; experience with practice-management or document-management systems is an advantage.

• Professional conduct and discretion with confidential client information.

• Candidates currently based in the UAE are preferred.
