Legal Executive Assistant

We're looking for an experienced PA, EA, Legal Secretary or senior administrator who is comfortable working in a busy, professional and client-focused environment. You'll need to be highly organised, confident managing competing priorities and comfortable supporting senior professionals who rely on you to keep things moving. The role will involve regular interaction with fee earners, clients and colleagues across the wider business, so strong communication skills and a professional approach are important. You should be able to demonstrate:

• Previous experience working as a PA, EA, Legal Secretary or in a similar high-level administrative support role.
• Experience gained within a law firm, professional services business or comparable partnership environment.
• Alternatively, broader legal-sector experience combined with strong administrative or fee-earner support experience.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
• Confidence dealing with clients and senior stakeholders in a professional manner.
• Strong IT skills and the ability to learn new systems quickly.
• A proactive and collaborative approach, with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a wider team. Experience supporting lawyers, partners or other senior professionals would be particularly advantageous, as would previous exposure to litigation or another busy legal practice area.
