A highly regarded, long-established London law firm is looking to hire an experienced Dispute Resolution PA / Litigation PA to join a close-knit and high-performing team supporting senior fee earners within a busy disputes practice.
This is a proper litigation PA role: fast-paced, varied, and hands-on. It is ideal for someone who thrives in an environment where priorities shift quickly, the workload is substantial, and support is truly valued.
You’ll be working closely with a senior Partner (and additional fee earners), supporting across a broad disputes caseload including commercial litigation, insolvency-related matters, asset recovery and wider contentious work.
The role will involve:
• Heavy diary management, inbox organisation and meeting coordination
• Typing, drafting, formatting and producing high-quality legal documents
• Managing electronic and physical files (opening/closing/matter management)
• Preparing bundles, hearing prep support and assisting with litigation processes
• Liaising with clients professionally and confidently
• Organising travel, accommodation and engagements
• Billing support, processing invoices and assisting with accounts tasks
• Supporting marketing activities and internal administration as required
• Working calmly under pressure and meeting tight deadlines
The successful candidate will be:
• An experienced litigation PA / legal secretary from a law firm environment
• Highly organised, proactive and able to think several steps ahead
• Confident working with senior Partners (including those with heavy workloads)
• Strong in character and comfortable prompting and prioritising effectively
• Discreet, professional and trusted with sensitive/confidential information
• Fast and accurate typist (ideally 65 wpm+)
• Comfortable handling billing admin, ledgers and bill summaries (beneficial)
• Strong in IT systems (Word/Outlook/Excel essential; Teams/Zoom as standard)
• Familiarity with iManage / BigHand / Nuance / SOS Connect would be advantageous
This is an opportunity to join a high-quality disputes team within a firm known for its excellence, heritage and client service. You’ll work in a supportive, professional culture where the standards are high, and the work is genuinely interesting.
If you’re a litigation PA who enjoys being busy, taking ownership, and working closely with senior lawyers who truly rely on their support, this could be an excellent next step.
