Are you the kind of person who can answer the phone with a smile, navigate a to-do list like a ninja, and still remember where the stapler lives? If so, a fast-growing and entrepreneurial law firm is looking for an experienced Legal Secretary / Administrator to join their team as soon as possible.

This isn't just about filing and typing (though you'll do a bit of both) this is about being the engine room of a law firm that's grown over 1000% since 2019. Its dynamic, its varied, and yes, there are Christmas parties.

About the Firm:

This is a commercially focused, forward-thinking law firm working with tech start-ups, scale-ups, and international businesses but without the stiff suits or elevator small talk.

• Booking video calls, sending standard letters, and chasing documents that somehow always go missing at the worst moment
• Conducting anti-money laundering and client due diligence checks Sherlock Holmes would be proud
• Managing post, photocopying, scanning, and keeping the stationery cupboard stocked (you know the printer doesn't work without paper, right?)
• Assisting with file opening, closing, compliance tasks, and client data input
• Helping with marketing (social media, events, the odd balloon possibly)
• Chasing invoices and supporting the accounts team (you don't need to be an accountant, just not afraid of numbers)
• Supporting lawyers both in-house and remote so multitasking is a must

What You'll Need:

• Some solid academic achievements
• A keen eye for detail (yes, we do care where the comma goes)
• An organised approach and the ability to juggle multiple tasks without breaking a sweat
• Friendly, professional communication skills
• Prior experience in a legal or professional services environment
• A team player mentality sleeves up, hands on
• A desire to grow, develop, and not just clock in and out
