We have an exciting new role...
Responsibilities for this role include but are not limited to:
We have an exciting opportunity for a secretary to join our Legal 500 Tier 1 corporate team in Tunbridge Wells.
About the role
We are seeking a proactive and highly organised Legal Secretary to join our Corporate transactional team. This is an exciting opportunity to support senior fee earners involved in a broad range of corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, corporate governance, reorganisations, and restructures.
In this fast-paced and client-focused role, you will be an integral part of the team, providing high-quality administrative and secretarial support. You will liaise directly with clients—some French-speaking, some English-speaking—so fluency in both written and spoken French is essential. Likely tasks include diary management (arranging meetings, travel, calls, and lunches), building relationships with clients and internal contacts, meeting preparation on behalf of fee earners (including document location and light document amendments), and administrative support with completions.
About You
We are eager to hear from experienced secretaries or administrators with strong communication skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with confidence and discretion. A passion for excellent, empathetic client care is a must, as well as the ability to be adaptable. In return, you will have the opportunity to work with a friendly, collaborative group, share and suggest new ideas, and participate in our firm-wide social events.
At Cripps, our purpose is to make a positive and lasting difference. In 2024, we became a certified B Corporation to demonstrate our commitment to social and environmental responsibility. As one of the few UK B Corp law firms, we are held accountable to our promises and transparent about our progress. Join us to help solve real-world problems, champion big ambitions, and make a personal impact on our people, clients, planet, and communities.
