London, Glasgow, Edinburgh or Milton Keynes (Hybrid – 2–3 days/month on-site) Up to £85K + strong benefits | Full-time, permanent


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

1. Deliver complex, multi-jurisdictional legal matters from end to end
2. Own scoping, budgeting, risk management, and reporting
3. Advise fee-earners, Partners, and clients on project strategy and delivery
4. Shape firmwide LPM standards and mentor junior team members
