Legal PA/ EA in Litigation

Are you looking to work in a large, prestigious and well known firm who work in some of the most beautiful offices in London, but have a relatively small and personable team to work alongside in a very interesting area within Litigation? Do you want to take on extra responsibilities whilst working at senior level in a very small allocation of fee earners? If this all sounds appealing so far – this could be the role for you!

Duties will include:

• Planning, coordinating and scheduling internal/external meetings and conferences
• Monitoring of fee earner diaries, reminding fee earners of diary commitments and taking responsibility for ensuring that they have all supporting paperwork and information for each meeting or appointment
• Dealing with all internal and external clients in a timely, professional and courteous manner
• Overseeing and prioritising incoming email, post and voicemail when fee earners are out of the office, acknowledging receipt and responding on behalf of the fee-earner
• Preparing presentation slides and materials for internal/external meetings and seminars in the Firm's house style
• Assisting with maintaining routine billing records, prepare billing guides and assist with the monthly billing process.
• Opening and closing of files including completing conflict checks, preparation of client engagement letters, collating all the relevant information required and updating client files regularly.

Although the role is not a 1:1 one by title, you will be predominantly supporting 1 Senior Partner who expects a very high standard of work; someone who will always be one step ahead and will have a very good ability to handle their workload and prioritise accordingly.

Previous experience at Senior level would be desirable but having previous Litigation experience is essential.
