I’d love some advise please. I’m 45 and looking to return to work as a legal secretary.
A bit of background : I worked as a legal sec/assistant in private practice for quite a few years and then studied and qualified as a legal exec. I left private practice in 2003 and had a career break for several years. I then returned to work on a self-employed basis in the wills and probate industry.
I’d like to start looking for a job as a legal secretary and to bring my knowledge up to date have studied the ILSPA Legal Secretary diploma, which I’ve loved. (I don’t want to return as a fee-earner for various reasons).
So! I’d love to know how things work in law firms these days. How do they do audio transcription now? Common databases used (Clio etc)? Do they still have large paper files?! Is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks in advance!
