If you're looking for a dynamic and rewarding role supporting legal professionals at the highest level then this is the role for you.

Our client, considered a global leader in the legal industry, is seeking an experienced Legal Secretary to provide exceptional assistance to a relatively young Partner and other fee earners in their Restructuring department.

The offices are beautiful, based in the heart of the City and you'll find a great social scene with organised events including skiing weekends, seasonal parties, charitable activities and many more to keep you occupied!

Responsibilities will include:

  • Providing comprehensive administrative support to Partners and fee earners
  • Manage complex calendars, schedule meetings and coordinate appointments to optimise efficiency
  • Prepare, proofread and format legal documents and correspondence
  • Maintain electronic and physical filing systems to ensure accurate record keeping and easy retrieval of documents
