Legal PA – 12-Month FTC

Finance | £46,000 | Full-Time | Hybrid (London)

I’m working exclusively on a brand-new opportunity with a top-tier international law firm, who are seeking a confident and proactive Legal PA to join their Finance team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This role is to cover maternity leave, with a preferred start date over the summer to allow for a handover with the outgoing PA.

You'll be supporting a busy and well-established team comprising 3 Partners, 3 Senior Associates, 2 Associates, a Trainee, and a BD professional. The role is varied, fast-paced and EA-focused, with a strong emphasis on diary management, travel coordination, billing and client liaison.

This is a great chance to work at a firm known for its friendly and collaborative culture, international presence, and specialist expertise across key global sectors.

Key Responsibilities:

• Full diary and inbox management for multiple fee earners, including complex scheduling across time zones
• Organising meetings, client events, and international travel arrangements with detailed itineraries
• Managing billing processes, expenses, and regular liaison with internal finance teams
• Supporting BD and client relationship activities, including events, pitches, and updating CRM systems
• Handling matter openings, compliance admin, and document preparation (with the help of a dedicated DP team)
• Acting as the go-to support for wider team coordination and internal comms

What We're Looking For:

• Previous experience as a Legal PA or EA in a professional services environment (legal sector preferred)
• Confident diary manager with excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and maintaining a high level of professionalism
• Tech-savvy and confident using MS Office and legal-specific systems (e.g. InterAction, Carpe Diem)
• Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude

The Offer:

• Salary: £46,000 (non-negotiable)
• 12-month contract with a structured handover period
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the office / 2 from home
• Based in central London – close to key transport links

This is an excellent opportunity to join a leading international law firm in a high-profile, people-focused role. If you're an experienced Legal PA looking for your next move, I’d love to hear from you.
