    With a vast pool of in-house knowledge, passion and skill at our disposal, you can be sure that whatever your legal needs, at Farleys Solicitors we’re here to help.

    Here at Farleys Solicitors we’ve been practising legal common sense for over 60 years. Our roots are firmly based in Lancashire, having started our journey in Blackburn in 1958. We now have seven offices across Lancashire and Greater Manchester, 150 employees and offer a full range of legal services for individuals and businesses.

    Our reputation and growth are based on how our legal services are delivered, combining our legal expertise with a down to earth approach and a focus on getting the job done for our clients.

    We are currently looking to recruit a Litigation Executive
    to join our Personal Injury
    department, based out of our Bank Street offices in Rawtenstall
    .

    This role involves supporting with a wide range of legal and administration tasks to ensure the smooth running of the office. This is more than an administrative/typing role and you will be an integral part of the success of the team going forward.

    The successful candidate will carry out a wide range of tasks, including but not limited to:

    • File management – opening and closing, correspondence and archiving
    • Production and filing of documents
    • Liaison with clients, enquirers and third parties on matters, including letters, emails and telephone calls
    • Financial administration such as billing and interaction with our accounts department
    • Other administrative tasks as required such as incoming post and diary management
    • Reception duties including incoming telephone calls and welcoming people to the office

    This is a permanent, full-time position.

    We’re looking for someone motivated and used to working in a busy, fast paced environment. You will be proactive and personable and someone who will work as part of a wider team to deliver exceptional client service. Candidates will also have:

    • Previous experience working within a professional environment
    • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word and Excel), and experience using a case management system (preferred but not essential).
    • Ability to manage administrative tasks in an efficient and effective manner
    • Strong organisational skills and high attention to detail

    Naturally, we look for academic qualifications and skills appropriate to each role. But we especially welcome people with a positive attitude; and who are willing to take responsibility and work as part of a team.

    We are also an equal opportunities employer and welcome people from all backgrounds. We recognise that to be successful, we need to create an inclusive environment where everyone can realise their potential and succeed.
