Business Administrator

Myerson Solicitors; Altrincham; On-site; GBP 20,000 - 30,000; Full time

Job description

Our firm

Myerson is a Top 200 UK Law Firm as recognised by The Lawyer. We are also proud to be ranked Top Tier by The Legal 500, commended by The Times Best Law Firms 2019 and 2023 and accredited as World Class in the Best Companies League Table 2023.

We are one of the largest independent law firms in the North West, a bold claim we are proud to make because it has been hard won. No instant growth through acquisition or merger. Instead, growth earned from our day-to-day endeavours, an entrepreneurial approach to doing business and a rock-solid reputation. We recruit staff who are motivated by our core values and have an affinity to our collegiate and independent ethos.

In September 2024 Myerson became a 100% employee-owned business. We are incredibly proud to be the first law firm in the Manchester market to make this positive step. Being employee-owned means we have taken steps to safeguard our independence, stability and people-first culture for years to come.

The role

As Business Administrator, you will provide a high-quality administration service and general office support across the firm.

The successful candidate will play a key role in our Business Administration team and work closely with other team members and the front of house team to ensure that all visitors to the office receive an exceptional service.

A flexible and pro-active approach to work is essential for this role. The position would suit someone with excellent organisational, interpersonal, and communication skills. The ability to take on board instructions and maintain excellent attention to detail is important.

Previous experience in an administration role would be beneficial but not essential. Similarly, experience of working in a law firm or professional services business would be useful but not a pre-requisite. The role may also suit someone who has completed an undergraduate law degree and is looking for their first experience of working at a law firm.

What You’ll Do

• Provide general administration assistance across the firm. A non-exhaustive list includes scanning, photocopying, deed scheduling, putting together bibles and bundles, dealing with incoming and outgoing post, archiving (in and out), dealing with office supplies, etc.
