I'm looking for a Senior Legal Project Manager (on behalf of an International Law firm), who wants to do more than fire off status trackers and chase fee-earners for updates. This is a senior, strategic role for someone who blends delivery discipline with commercial awareness, and can confidently advise both internal stakeholders and clients.
Why this role matters
Their Legal Project Management function sits within Solutions, alongside Innovation & AI, eDisclosure, and Legal Delivery. It’s a collaborative, forward-thinking environment reshaping how legal services are delivered across multiple regions.
You’ll lead high-profile matters, drive smarter processes, and mentor junior LPMs. From pitch to post-deal, you’ll be involved and accountable.
What you’ll do
* Deliver complex, multi-jurisdictional legal matters from end to end
* Own scoping, budgeting, risk management, and reporting
* Advise fee-earners, Partners, and clients on project strategy and delivery
* Shape firmwide LPM standards and mentor junior team members
* Help win work by identifying where LPM adds value
* Champion innovation and improved legal service delivery
* Work alongside legal tech and innovation teams to implement practical solutions
What you’ll bring
* Solid experience in legal project management within a global law firm or similar
* Confidence leading client-facing matters with multiple stakeholders
* Clear understanding of budgeting, governance and delivery
* A proactive, solutions-first mindset toward process and tech
* Track record of mentoring or leading junior team members
* Bonus: experience in litigation, eDisclosure or transformation projects
Hybrid Working
Only 2–3 days per month required in office, with flexibility to work from any of the firm's UK hubs.
If you’re a senior LPM who wants autonomy, impact and room to grow, this role offers the scale of a global firm with the maturity of a forward-thinking team.
