Job Description
Posted Thursday 24 July 2025 at 01:00
We have an exciting new role.....
Responsibilities for this role include but are not limited to:
Our Tunbridge Wells-based Legal 500 Tier 1 corporate/commercial team is looking for a Legal Secretary.
About the role
The corporate/commercial team deals with a wide range of corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, private equity work, corporate governance, corporate restructuring, commercial/software contracts, intellectual property, and data agreements.
In this role, you will provide support to a range of fee-earners from junior level to partner. As a Legal Secretary, your tasks will include file opening, updating our central database, supporting fee-earners with billing, arranging payment or reimbursement of expenses, diary management (meetings, travel, calls, and lunches), and providing administrative support during completions.
About You
We are keen to hear from candidates who are either at the beginning of their career as a Legal Secretary, returning after a career break and looking for a supportive environment, or those with excellent transferable organisational skills from an administrative role. You should be able to prioritise and manage your workload effectively.
A passion for empathetic and high-quality client care is essential, as is the ability to adapt and work collaboratively. In return, you’ll join a friendly and supportive team, learn new legal technology systems, contribute your ideas, and take part in our many firm-wide social events.
If you’ve had a career break or are considering a return to the legal profession, we will fully support you with training and guidance.
You'll spend at least 60% of your working week in the office, though we know there is no one-size-fits-all and arrangements may vary from role to role. Our strong culture is founded on working together in the office, which we aim to maintain through our people being regularly co-located, working cohesively and in collaboration with one another.
At Cripps, our purpose is to make a positive and lasting difference. It’s why we do what we do. In 2024, we became a certified B Corporation to make a legal and very public commitment that we mean what we say. As one of only a handful of UK B Corp law firms, we are held accountable to our social and environmental promises. We are transparent on what we are doing well and where we are falling short. We are excited about the opportunities this affords us to continually improve as a responsible, sustainable, and inclusive business. Come and join us to help solve real world problems, champion big ambitions, and make a personal impact on our people, our clients, our planet, and our communities.
