Dear Sir/Madam,

Application for a Barristers Clerk

I would like to apply for the role of Barristers Clerk which I have seen advertised in (where and when and any job reference).

I have always had a keen interest in Law from an early age and wanted to follow my career in a law environment. I am a very organised person and having researched the role and looked into your company I understand that I will be required to prepare documents for court, taking anything to and from court as a runner, organising diaries and scheduling appointments with clients.

I feel that I have excellent administration skills and I have had a lot of experience in dealing with customers and feel that I am able to do this well. In my previous roles I have also been responsible for ensuring that customers know the fees applicable to their visits and I am able to chase these payments up, send invoices etc.

I feel that I am a very professional person who is looking forward to working in a Law company and learning all the challenges along the way. I work well on my own initiative as well as with others and feel that I am very efficient and dedicated to any work that I am doing.

I have enclosed my CV for your consideration, if you are interested in my skills and have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours sincerely
