Job Description
Just finished your law degree but not keen on traditional legal practice?
Have you thought about being a Company Secretary? This isn’t a back-office admin role—it’s a strategic position at the heart of corporate governance.
As a Company Secretary, you’ll play a vital role in helping businesses navigate legal, regulatory, and ethical frameworks while influencing key decisions at board level.
It’s a role that blends legal knowledge, commercial awareness, and compliance. You’ll be working closely with executive teams, advising on compliance, preparing board papers, and ensuring sound governance practices are in place. It’s respected, impactful, and offers genuine career progression.
Why this could be the ideal career move for you:
- Use your legal skills in a high-trust, influential role—without having to become a practising lawyer
- Gain exposure to senior stakeholders and decision-making processes early in your career
- Build a unique mix of legal, business, and governance expertise that’s in demand across industries
- Open the door to senior executive opportunities, including CFO, COO, or even board director roles down the line
I’m currently recruiting for a permanent, full-time opportunity ideal for a recent law graduate who is open to exploring career paths beyond traditional legal practice. This role offers provides a chance to apply your legal knowledge in a dynamic, non-practising capacity.
