Job description

Legal EA to Partner - World-Class US Law Firm (Tax Team)

£60,000-£62,500 + Exceptional Benefits, City of London | Hybrid (4 days in / 1 remote), Permanent

Some roles quietly elevate your career - others define it.

We're working with one of the world's most respected US law firms, renowned for excellence, intellect, and an unapologetically high standard in everything they do. Their London office, based in the City's newest landmark building, is home to some of the sharpest legal minds in the business - and they're looking for a Legal EA who can truly match that calibre.

This isn't just diary management. It's partnership. You'll be the nerve centre for a highly regarded Partner within the Tax practice, ensuring their world runs seamlessly. You'll anticipate what's next before they've even thought about it, solve problems before they become visible, and bring calm control to a role where precision and discretion are everything.

What You'll Do

• Own the details - from global diary management and client communication to high-level document production and billing support.
• Be the buffer and the bridge - managing competing priorities, complex schedules, and relationships with poise.
• Travel orchestrator - planning multi-stop itineraries, visas, and every detail that keeps international business moving.
• Confidante and organiser - keeping everything (and everyone) one step ahead, even when supporting an 'old-school' Partner who values a confident, steady hand.
• Collaborate - work alongside a talented secretarial team where everyone has each other's back and excellence is the norm.

Who You Are

You're not just an EA - you're a fixer, organiser, and trusted gatekeeper. You bring presence, diplomacy, and that sixth sense for what needs doing before anyone asks.

• Previous experience supporting at Partner level within a law firm or elite professional services environment.

Why You'll Love It

Because this is the kind of firm where everything - from the view to the values - feels world-class. You'll join an environment that quietly rewards excellence and expects it in return.

• Salary up to £62,500
• Hybrid working (4:1)
• Stunning City offices with views for days
• A culture where Executive Assistants are treated as strategic partners, not background support
