You will have access to resources like the Document Production team, Admin Assistants, and Business Services, allowing you to manage your workload effectively while contributing to the wider team.

Though you’ll have autonomy in managing your day, collaboration is key, and you’ll be expected to build strong relationships across the business and with clients, ensuring you align with the firm’s values.

• Confidence to manage multiple stakeholders, delegate tasks as needed, and work independently when required.
• Strong relationship‑building abilities, with the confidence to work with both internal teams and external clients.
• A proactive, flexible attitude, ready to take on new responsibilities and rise to challenge.

• Business Development & Support: Organise team meetings and events, handle travel arrangements (including international), liaise with business support teams, update legal directories, and assist with client communications and profile updates.
• Client Service & Matter Management: Provide outstanding client service by managing client data, ensuring compliance procedures are followed, and keeping records accurate and up‑to‑date. Support tasks such as conflict checks, risk assessments, and client financial reporting.
• Diary & Task Management: Coordinate diaries and appointments, ensuring all necessary materials are prepared. Keep track of key dates, deadlines and reminders for both clients and the team.
• Finance & Billing: Assist with financial reporting, invoicing, billing queries and expense claims. Work closely with the finance team to manage financial housekeeping tasks and prepare client invoices.
• Workflow & Task Prioritisation: Effectively manage multiple tasks and projects, provide regular updates and work closely with lawyers and support teams to meet deadlines.

If you’re an organised and proactive individual who thrives in a team‑focused environment, this role is an exciting opportunity to take on new challenges and grow within a dynamic team. Apply today!
