  • Opening new clients and matters, including conflict checks and engagement letters
  • Coordinating complex international travel and detailed itineraries
  • Maintaining CRM systems and contact databases
  • Managing electronic and paper filing systems
  • Time recording and expense management
  • Coordinating document production and binding
  • Supporting business development activities and internal reporting
  • Building strong relationships with partners, clients and colleagues across international offices


What we're looking for:

  • Fluent French and English (spoken, written and reading) – essential
  • At least 4 years' Legal Secretary/Legal PA experience, supporting partners within a law firm
  • Excellent Microsoft Office skills
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
  • A proactive, professional approach with exceptional attention to detail
  • Someone who enjoys working as part of a collaborative, high-performing team


Why apply?
