Knowledge and experience

  1. A strong background in general litigation is required and the ability to progress a significant litigation case-load is essential.
  2. A background in managing litigation files concerning debt collection and/or copyright infringement is desirable, but not required.
  3. Must be computer-literate, able to proficiently and competently use all MS Office applications.
  4. Good communication and interpersonal skills are also crucial attributes for this position.
  5. The successful applicant needs to be comfortable dealing with persons subject to court proceedings by telephone, email, and letter to address queries and negotiate payment arrangements.
  6. A high degree of self-motivation and initiative is required for this position. The caseload being carried and related deadlines will dictate priorities. Difficult issues are referred to the In-House Solicitor or the Chief Operating Officer.
  7. Being organised from the outset of a legal file is a key determinant of success in this position. The Legal Executive is responsible for the planning and organisation of their day-to-day work under the supervision of the In-House Solicitor.
