Legal Administrative Assistant

Job description

Legal Team Assistant – Launch Your Legal PA Career

Liverpool Street, City of London

Up to £28k + benefits

Permanent | Full Time

Please note this is not a stepping stone to becoming a solicitor or barrister.

It is a genuine first step into building a long-term career as a Legal PA within a top-tier international law firm.

My client is a globally recognised firm, ranked highly across multiple practice areas, with offices in the heart of the City. They are known for their collaborative culture, friendly environment and genuine investment in their support teams.

They are looking for someone at the start of their legal support journey — perhaps you’ve completed a CILEX Legal Secretarial qualification, ILSPA or equivalent, and have around 6 months’ admin or office experience. More importantly, you have the drive and ambition to develop into a Legal PA.

You will be embedded in a busy, high-performing practice area, supporting colleagues at all levels — including Partners and experienced PAs — gaining real exposure to how a global firm operates day to day.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and maintaining databases

• Updating and coordinating diaries for fee earners

• Assisting with travel arrangements

• Supporting with financial administration

• Delivering proactive, high-quality team support

The firm values attention to detail, professionalism and a positive, can-do mindset. In return, you will be supported with structured development and clear progression opportunities as you grow into a Legal PA role.

If you are a paralegal seeking a training contract, an aspiring barrister, or looking for a short-term legal stepping stone — this role is not the right fit.

If you are serious about building a long-term career in legal support and want to start in a firm that will invest in you — this could be your moment.
