We are supporting a reputable law firm who are looking for an experienced Legal Secretary to join their Corporate Division.

• Billing management – crucial from the 20th of each month onwards
• Secretarial and administrative support for five authors in each team
• Document management, scheduling, and general coordination
• Working closely with the finance team and corporate training team

You'll work closely with one partner who is highly involved and requires regular support, while the other takes a more independent approach but will still need occasional assistance

Who are they looking for?

• Previous experience in a law firm –with billing exposure
• Familiarity with billing systems – experience with 3E is a bonus
