🌟 Senior Legal PA/EA) - Commercial & Technology

📍 London (Hybrid: 3 days office / 2 days WFH)
💰 Up to £58,000 + Excellent Benefits
🕴 Supporting 1 Partner + 2 Senior Associates


Are you a confident, proactive Executive Assistant or Legal PA ready to step into a more strategic role? This is a rare opportunity to join a top-tier global law firm, supporting a high-performing team in their Commercial & Technology practice group.

You'll be working closely with one Partner and two experienced Senior Associates (who manage much of their own admin), while also acting as a vital conduit between the department's support team and its senior leadership.


🔍 The Role:

This isn't your average EA role. While you'll still be handling high-level executive support - from complex diary management to client liaison and inbox control - you'll also be the go-to person for broader team coordination, strategic admin projects, and internal communications.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Full ownership of partner-level support with minimal oversight

  • Managing client billing, engagement letters, WIP reviews, and financial tracking

  • Acting as a liaison between Team Assistants, PAs, and the department Manager

  • Supporting internal projects, recruitment, onboarding and team resourcing

  • Drafting internal comms, preparing reports and materials for meetings

  • Oversight of key operational functions for the department


✅ What We're Looking For:

We're seeking a calm, confident professional who thrives under pressure and takes initiative. You'll be trusted to run with tasks, drive efficiency, and be a natural point of contact within the team.

You should have:

  • Experience supporting senior stakeholders in a legal or professional services firm

  • Strong organisational and communication skills

  • A keen eye for detail and the confidence to make independent decisions

  • Ideally, experience in Commercial, Technology or IP/Trademarks law - though this is not essential


🌐 Why This Role?

  • Hybrid flexibility (3:2 office/home)

  • High visibility within a prestigious department

  • Opportunity to be involved in the strategic running of a legal team

  • Supportive, high-performing culture that rewards initiative

This is the perfect next step for an experienced Legal EA, PA or Practice Executive ready for more strategic responsibility in a fast-paced, prestigious environment.
