  • Build hands-on legal experience

  • Strengthen your commercial awareness

  • Gain exposure to how a top law firm really operates

  • Set yourself up for a Legal PA / Legal Ops / Practice Support style role next

It's exactly the kind of experience that accelerates careers and puts a standout brand on your CV.

🧩 What You'll Be Doing

  • Supporting fee earners and wider teams with admin tasks

  • Managing documents, filing and matter administration

  • Assisting with billing, expenses and internal processes

  • Liaising with colleagues across departments

  • Learning how a high-performing law firm operates from the inside out

💷 The Details

  • Salary: up to £29,000

  • 1-year FTC (ideal career springboard)

  • Excellent benefits

  • Supportive, professional, and genuinely friendly culture

👀 Who This Suits

  • You already have admin experience within a law firm

  • You're ambitious, organised, and keen to progress

  • You want more than "just admin" - you want a career path

If you're ready to turn your current legal admin role into a long-term legal career, this is your moment.
