• Supporting the Firm’s professional image and culture by demonstrating professional behaviour and building positive professional relationships
• Providing reception support as required
• Performing general administrative duties including, but not limited to, answering calls, filing, photocopying, scanning, welcoming clients/colleagues at front desk and organizing couriers
