A law office receptionist works for a legal firm or the legal department of a large company. In this career, your responsibilities include answering telephones, accepting and delivering mail and legal documents, greeting clients and other visitors, and performing other duties at the front desk of the law office. Some law office receptionists may help lawyers with accessing case files and compiling information. The job could also include organizing or scheduling meetings and events and managing the lawyers' schedules. When anyone visits a law office, you are the first person with whom they interact, so excellent customer skills are essential.
