Contract: Permanent
Start Date: ASAP
We’re excited to be working on a newly created Executive Assistant opportunity within a well-established City law firm. This is a busy, high-visibility role supporting senior leadership and offers a great mix of traditional EA responsibilities and light legal secretarial work.
About the Role
You’ll be working closely with the Managing Partner and Head of Corporate M&A, as well as supporting the wider leadership team including the FD, COO, and Chief Marketing Officer. This is a fast-paced environment that requires someone who thrives under pressure and enjoys being the go-to person for keeping things running smoothly.
Key Responsibilities:
* Complex diary management across multiple stakeholders
* Meeting coordination and preparation
* Billing support and basic legal admin (e.g. drafting letters, understanding legal terminology)
* Involvement in internal comms such as newsletters
* Assisting with event organisation – including their upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations
* Ad hoc administrative support across the wider leadership team
Please note: This is a pure EA role with occasional secretarial elements – ideal for someone who enjoys variety and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves.
About You
* Minimum 3 years’ experience in an EA role, ideally within a law firm or an in house legal team
* Comfortable supporting multiple stakeholders at senior level
* Confident, positive and highly organised
* Ambitious and proactive
* Happy working 4 days per week in the office (this is non-negotiable)
Why Apply?
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to grow in a fast-moving, collaborative firm where your contribution will be genuinely valued. You'll be working with a friendly, down-to-earth team in a prime City location (right by Bank Station, near the Ned).
