Multiple UK Locations | Hybrid Working

Join us as a Legal Secretary

Join a leading international law firm where Legal Secretaries play a vital role in keeping our teams running smoothly and delivering an exceptional client experience.

We’re continuing to grow across a number of our practice areas and offices, and we’re looking to connect with talented Legal Secretaries through our dedicated hiring programme.

This is a Talent Community, meaning you’ll be considered for multiple upcoming roles through one application - giving you greater visibility, flexibility, and opportunity.

About the role

As a Legal Secretary, you’ll act as a trusted partner to your lawyers - helping to manage workflows, anticipate needs, and ensure that everything runs efficiently behind the scenes.

You’ll work both independently and as part of a wider team, supporting colleagues across different practice areas and building strong working relationships across the business.

What you'll be doing

Supporting lawyers and managing workflows
  • Acting as a key point of contact - keeping work moving and ensuring deadlines are met
  • Managing inboxes, prioritising communications, and drafting responses where appropriate
  • Preparing and producing high-quality documents, correspondence, and reports
  • Supporting with document production, including digital dictation and formatting
Organisation and coordination
  • Organising case files, maintaining accurate records, and managing document systems
  • Coordinating meetings, diaries, and travel arrangements
  • Preparing and maintaining document bundles and case-related materials
Client and stakeholder engagement
  • Building strong relationships with lawyers, clients, and internal teams
  • Supporting client-related activity, including reports, events, and communications
  • Ensuring client protocols and service standards are consistently met
Financial and matter support
  • Assisting with billing processes, expense submissions, and financial administration
  • Supporting WIP management, disbursements, and finance queries
  • Helping to maintain accurate records and reporting where required
Team and business support
  • Collaborating with colleagues and providing support across teams when needed
  • Contributing to a high-performing, responsive team environment
  • Handling confidential information with care and working within compliance frameworks

What we're looking for

We’re keen to hear from candidates who bring experience and a proactive, team-focused mindset.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:
  • Have experience in a legal or professional services environment
  • Enjoy working in a fast-paced, collaborative setting
  • Take pride in producing high-quality, accurate work
  • Are confident managing multiple priorities and supporting busy stakeholders
  • Have strong skills in Microsoft Office and document/case management systems
  • Are organised, detail-oriented, and naturally proactive
  • Bring a strong client service focus and a “can-do” attitude

What to expect

Our hiring process: Virtual Interview Days

As part of this Talent Community hiring approach, successful applicants will be invited to attend one of our virtual interview days.

This is designed to give you a better experience and more opportunity to find the right fit.

During the process, you will:
  • Meet with multiple hiring managers across different teams
  • Learn more about our practice areas and working environment
  • Talk through your experience, preferences, and career goals

Following this, we’ll work closely with you to match you to a suitable role based on your skills, interests, and location.

Why apply through our Talent Community?
  • Access multiple opportunities through a single application
  • A more efficient and streamlined recruitment experience
  • Greater visibility of teams, roles, and career pathways
  • Faster consideration as roles become available
Additional information
  • Working pattern: Full-time, hybrid working
  • Level: Suitable for candidates with prior Legal Secretary or comparable professional services experience
  • Locations: Opportunities available across multiple UK offices (Bristol, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Glasgow, etc.)
