About the role

We’re looking for a proactive and professional Legal Administrator to support our Partners and wider legal teams.

You’ll be involved in premium work, where no two days are the same! You’ll provide high‑level personal assistance to our Partners, as well as secretarial and administrative support to the wider team of lawyers.

Your high level of self‑awareness and strong interpersonal skills will enable you to build trusted, influential relationships across the firm. You’ll be responsive, reliable, and comfortable managing a diverse range of tasks with professionalism and care.

While prior experience in a law firm is not essential, strong computer literacy is a must as you’ll need to navigate our systems with confidence and accuracy.
