Are you organised, people-focused, and looking to grow your legal career within a supportive and professional team? We’re looking for a Legal Assistant to join our busy Lifetime Planning department in either Pembroke or Carmarthen, providing essential support to our legal professionals and playing a key role in delivering outstanding service to our clients.
Redkite Solicitors has been trusted to provide exceptional legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses since 1898. As a progressive, full-service law firm, we’re driven by growth and innovation, continuously expanding our reach to meet the diverse needs of our clients. With nearly 300 dedicated professionals, we’re proud to be recognised as an employer of choice, with a number of our lawyers recognised in both Legal 500 and Chambers, reflecting the strength and quality of our expertise. Our ongoing commitment to excellence and expansion ensures Redkite remains at the forefront of the legal sector.
Candidates should be aware that their first day of employment may be based at an alternative Redkite office within our network, for group onboarding. A willingness to travel and spend the day away from your usual place of work is therefore required.
