Legal Secretary

Cripps Royal Tunbridge Wells, England, United Kingdom

Our Tunbridge Wells-based Legal 500 Tier 1 corporate/commercial team is looking for a Legal Secretary.

The corporate/commercial team deals with a wide range of corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, private equity work, corporate governance, corporate restructuring, commercial/software contracts, intellectual property and data agreements.

In this role, you will provide support to a range of fee-earners from junior level to partner. As a Legal Secretary, your tasks will include file opening, updating our central database, supporting fee-earners with billing, arranging payment or reimbursement of expenses, diary management (meetings, travel, calls, and lunches) and providing administrative support during completions.

We are keen to hear from candidates who are either at the beginning of their career as a Legal Secretary, returning after a career break and looking for a supportive environment, or those with excellent transferable organisational skills from an administrative role. You should be able to prioritise and manage your workload effectively.

A passion for empathetic and high-quality client care is essential, as is the ability to adapt and work collaboratively. In return, you’ll join a friendly and supportive team, learn new legal technology systems, contribute your ideas, and take part in our many firm-wide social events.

If you’ve had a career break or are considering a return to the legal profession, we will fully support you with training and guidance.
