Join one of the UK's leading family law chambers

1GC is one of the country's leading family law chambers, recognised for excellence across every area of family law. Our team of 22 employees supports over 100 barristers, including 15 King's Counsel, from our modern offices overlooking Lincoln's Inn Fields.

As Chambers continues to grow, we are looking for an Assistant Practice Manager / Clerk to join our experienced and friendly clerking team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with clerking experience who is looking to take the next step in their career within a highly regarded set of chambers where no two days are ever the same.

The Role

Working closely with our Practice Managers and senior clerking team, you will play an important role in the day-to-day management of members' practices. You'll assist with diary management, court listings, client enquiries, case administration and practice development, helping to ensure our barristers and professional clients receive an exceptional service.

This is a varied, fast-paced role that would suit someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems and working collaboratively in a professional environment.

About You

You'll have:

• At least two years' experience working within barristers' chambers or a similar legal environment.
• A good working knowledge of family law procedures and the court system.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• A proactive, client-focused approach and good commercial awareness.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft 365.
• Experience of the LEX case management system would be an advantage but is not essential.

Our clerking team is central to the success of Chambers and plays a key role in delivering the exceptional service for which 1GC is known.

We pride ourselves on providing a supportive, collaborative and friendly working environment where everyone is encouraged to contribute and develop. We are committed to investing in our people and supporting career progression, with many members of our clerking team having built successful careers within Chambers.
