- Newly created opportunity in growing law firm
- True 'one-on-one' EA role
- Generous salary available

Full-time, permanent opportunity for experienced Executive Assistant to join growing specialist law firm in 'one-to-one' EA role

THE EMPLOYER

This award-winning, specialist law firm focuses on high-quality, commercial litigation. The firm has been through consistent and measured growth and continues to go from strength-to-strength.

The firm is led by a Managing Partner who is rightly proud - not only of the work the firm produces and its culture, but also the firm's ability to win the big-name clients that belie the firm's boutique size.

This rare one-to-one Executive Assistant role will therefore support an dynamic and approachable Managing Partner who has a genuine interest and commitment to Business Development and Marketing.

THE OPPORTUNITY

On a day-to-day you will be the lynch-pin that ensures the smooth-running of this likeable, but very busy Managing Partner's life.

You’ll stay ahead of the MP’s diary, liaising with clients and contacts to organise meetings, events, lunches and functions. You’ll work with directly with senior level stakeholders, including the firm's Business and Operation's Manager to help implement BD & Marketing strategies and to take responsibility for social media and CRM management. You’ll also manage a busy inbox – flagging, owning, escalating and actioning as needed.

A genuinely, diverse opportunity for a business-savvy, support professional looking for a new challenge as a true EA.

About you

This opportunity is suited to you as an experienced Legal EA / Legal Secretary.

- at least three years of experience in a busy legal support role supporting a Partner or other senior-level lawyers;
- experience in a commercially, focused area of law.
- experience managing busy diaries,
- a demonstrated interest in BD/marketing and/or events and a commitment to working in an EA support role;
- you will ideally have worked in a legal private practice and offer experience with e:billing
- and finally, you’ll be a self-starter with the adaptability to take on various tasks, in a fast-moving environment.

Why apply?

This is a rare chance to secure a sought after one-on-one EA role.

It offers you the chance to use your EA skills in a fast-paced firm, whilst developing your EA business development, marketing and events skills - all within a growing and dynamic firm.

This firm has a genuine team-based culture and you'll work directly with a Managing Partner who leads a team of high-performing lawyers who specialise in doing litigation - well.

The culture is fast-paced and dynamic and the administration team is both well-rewarded and respected. Good ideas will be welcomed.
