Are you a proactive, highly organised Legal Secretary ready for your next career move?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading UK law firm known for its collaborative culture, high-profile client base, and forward-thinking approach. You’ll be supporting Partners and Fee Earners within a dynamic and growing Employment practice – including areas such as Immigration, Data Privacy, and Cyber.

This firm offers the perfect mix of responsibility, support, and development.

What's in it for you?

  • Join a progressive firm with over 700 people globally and a fantastic reputation across multiple sectors
  • Work alongside ambitious and friendly teams who are passionate about what they do
  • Be part of a culture that values bravery, kindness, and people-first thinking
  • Hybrid working, strong L&D opportunities, and a team that truly values its support staff

The Role

You'll act as the key support to Partners and Associates across the Employment practice, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations and delivering top-tier client service.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

  • Managing diaries, travel, and inboxes for senior lawyers
  • Preparing legal documents and client correspondence
  • Coordinating billing and financial admin (including drafting narratives and following up on payments)
  • Liaising with clients, often being their first point of contact
  • Supporting with events, marketing activity, and seminar preparation
  • Assisting across offices and stepping in to help others when needed

What we're looking for:

  • 2+ years’ experience in a Legal Secretary or Legal PA role (Employment or Litigation exposure a plus)
  • Confident, professional and approachable communicator
  • Superb organisational skills with high attention to detail
  • A team player with a flexible, can-do attitude and a calm, proactive approach
  • Experience using legal systems such as iManage, time recording, and billing platforms is advantageous

This is more than just a support role – it's a chance to work in a team that genuinely values its people, encourages development, and offers a supportive and inclusive environment.
