About The Role

As a Legal Project Manager, you will play a key role in supporting the successful delivery of a large, complex matter within the firm. This role goes beyond traditional matter management — it's about resourcing effectively, partnering closely with the lead Partner, and bringing together all the moving parts of running a significant engagement.

You Will Be Responsible For

• Matter management: Supporting the planning, delivery, and ongoing management of a major matter over an extended period of time.
• Operational excellence: Assisting with pricing, resourcing, communication, reporting, and process mapping to ensure the matter runs smoothly and efficiently.
• Driving the development and implementation of our internal Legal Project Management (LPM) tools, including set up, training, and continuous improvement.
• Identifying, developing, and testing technology solutions that can enhance the delivery of LPM tasks and functions.
• Creating and contributing to LPM templates, collateral, guidance materials, and training to build firm-wide capability.
• Supporting and contributing to broader firm transformation projects that improve how we deliver legal services.
  
  

This is an opportunity to work at the heart of a key client matter, helping to shape the way the firm delivers complex legal work and strengthening the bridge between legal excellence and project management discipline.

About You

To succeed in this role, you'll bring experience in a project management environment and a desire to take the next step in your career. You're someone who thrives on organisation, collaboration, and finding better ways of working.

Our Ideal Candidate Will

• Bring around 2–3 years of hands-on project management experience (legal, professional services, or a comparable environment).
• Have a track record of spotting opportunities for improvement and working with stakeholders to implement change effectively.
• Be highly organised, with a strong focus on detail, and comfortable acting as the central point for workflow coordination and prioritisation.
• Show empathy and a service mindset — you understand the importance of supporting the team and partner to achieve the best outcomes.
• Be known as reliable, accountable, and trustworthy, with a natural ability to build confidence in your work.
• (Ideally) have experience in a law firm or professional services environment.
