A trusted law firm in the Boland is looking for a Legal Secretary with experience in Road Accident Fund (RAF) litigation for a permanent role in the Cape Winelands. Applications close on November 13, 2026. This is a specialist role for a seasoned legal secretary: the advert asks for more than 10 years of RAF litigation experience, so it will suit someone who already knows the courts, the files and the pace of a busy litigation practice.
About the company and the work
The position is advertised through Western Cape Recruitment, a recruitment agency previously known as Visp Service that connects candidates with opportunities across the Western Cape. The client is a trusted law firm in the Boland that specialises in fund claims assistance. The work sits at the centre of the practice: keeping the administrative side of litigation matters in order so that attorneys can focus on their cases and clients receive efficient, professional service. The advert describes the core of the job as providing administrative and clerical support, managing all administrative work, and ensuring daily operations run smoothly.
Role details and duties
As Legal Secretary, you will provide administrative and clerical support to the firm, manage all administrative work, and ensure that daily operations run smoothly. In practice that means handling the files, documents and systems behind RAF litigation matters, supporting the attorneys you work with, and giving clients the efficient, caring service the advert asks for. The role is permanent, the salary is market related, and the reference number is CPT000378/SLG. Please note that the same vacancy is also listed for the wider Western Cape and in a longer-running Cape Winelands posting; this post covers the Cape Winelands listing closing on November 13, 2026, and applicants should confirm the work location in the original advert.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here:
- 10+ years of experience in RAF litigation.
- Proficiency in Court Online, Caselines, and Microsoft Office.
- Computer literacy.
- Strength in admin, time-management, and organisational work.
- Attention to detail.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Legal drafting knowledge.
