Legal Admin/PA

About the Role

As a Personal Assistant, you will play a key role in supporting the firm's Directors and legal staff while helping to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the practice.

This is a varied and hands-on position that will see you:

• Providing high-level administrative and personal assistant support to the firm's legal staff
• Managing diaries, appointments, and client communications
• Preparing correspondence and documentation with accuracy and attention to detail
• Answering and directing incoming calls and handling enquiries professionally and efficiently
• Assisting with client matters while contributing to the efficient operation of the practice
• Building positive relationships with clients, colleagues, and professional contact
• Contributing to a collaborative culture where everyone pitches in to support one another

This role offers variety, responsibility, and the opportunity to become an integral part of a busy and respected legal practice. No two days are quite the same, making it ideal for someone who enjoys a diverse role and takes satisfaction in helping both clients and colleagues.

About You

You are organised, proactive, and take pride in producing high-quality work. You enjoy being the person others can rely on and have a natural ability to build strong working relationships.

Ideally, you will bring:

• Previous experience as a Personal Assistant, Legal Secretary, Legal PA, or similar administrative support role
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• The ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines
• A professional, positive, and client-focused approach
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly in Excel, including the ability to work confidently with spreadsheets, formulas, and numerical information
• A high level of accuracy and an analytical mindset, with the ability to work through calculations and financial information

Legal experience would be advantageous but is not essential for the right candidate.
