About the Role

Owen Reed is looking to recruit an Administrative Assistant for a top law firm. This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive and collaborative secretarial team, providing essential administrative support across the firm's London, Reading and Bristol offices.

This role is ideal for a highly organised individual who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, has excellent attention to detail and takes pride in delivering exceptional client service.

  • Liaise with new clients by telephone and email to obtain onboarding information.
  • Open new matters and maintain accurate records within the firm's Practice Management System.
  • Prepare and issue Client Care documentation.
  • Carry out conflict, sanctions, Know Your Client (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks.
  • Obtain client identification and supporting documentation ahead of appointments.
  • Coordinate with Legal Secretaries and fee earners to ensure a seamless onboarding process.
  • Schedule Settlement Agreement meetings with clients.
  • Provide administrative support for large-scale Settlement Agreement projects.
  • Process invoices upon completion of client matters.
  • Assist with file closing and archiving procedures.
  • Support the wider secretarial function with general administrative duties as required.

About You

The successful candidate will have:

  • Previous experience in an administrative or office support role.
  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Outstanding client service and interpersonal skills.
  • Confidence working independently while remaining proactive and organised.
  • Strong diary management and administrative abilities.
  • The ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion.
  • A flexible, positive and adaptable approach to work.
  • Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office, with the ability to learn new systems quickly.
  • Previous experience within a legal or professional services environment is advantageous but not essential.

What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary.
  • Hybrid working with predominantly remote working following your initial training period.
  • Opportunity to join a top law firm with an excellent reputation.
  • Supportive and collaborative team environment.
  • Excellent training and development opportunities.
  • Varied and rewarding role supporting multiple offices across the UK.

If you're an organised and proactive Administrative Assistant looking to join a top law firm offering flexibility, career development and a collaborative working environment, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today through Owen Reed for a confidential discussion.
