Are you contemplating a career as a legal secretary? Or are you a secretary who is looking to expand upon your skills and maximise your role?

The course will first provide an overview of the general trajectory of a family law matter, both in relation to parenting and property matters, to ensure that support staff understand why and how the pieces of the puzzle go together – an essential knowledge base for successful support staff.

With that foundational knowledge, participants will be guided through the key documents and forms required throughout the life of a family law matter, learning why, and at what stages, those documents become necessary and, with the benefit of a relevant case study, will be provided with the tools to capably complete those documents.

The legal market is a diverse one and the role of support staff can be different at every firm. This course will add value whether you are working for a sole practitioner, a boutique firm, or multiple solicitors in a large firm. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and will be provided with ‘tips and tricks’ and ‘do’s and don’ts’ which will leave participants with the toolbox they need to become the most successful and valuable support staff in the market.
