* Supporting BD and client relationship activities, including events, pitches, and updating CRM systems
* Handling matter openings, compliance admin, and document preparation (with the help of a dedicated DP team)
* Acting as the go-to support for wider team coordination and internal comms
What We're Looking For:
* Previous experience as a Legal PA or EA in a professional services environment (legal sector preferred)
* Confident diary manager with excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
* Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and maintaining a high level of professionalism
* Tech-savvy and confident using MS Office and legal-specific systems (e.g. InterAction, Carpe Diem)
* Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude
The Offer:
* Salary: £46,000 (non-negotiable)
* 12-month contract with a structured handover period
