Company Secretary jobs in United Kingdom

Would you like a Legal Secretary role that will see you make an impact in an innovative, progressive firm that prides itself on putting its people first along with their clients, and fostering a culture of career development and progression? Would you like the chance to work in a collaborative culture where your ideas are valued?

An exciting Legal Secretary opportunity has arisen at the stunning offices of our client, one of the UK's top law firms, where you will be providing support to multiple fee earners within the highly collaborative Corporate team, who get involved in a wide range of corporate matters. Your lynchpin role will encompass taking ownership of processes to ensure various legal support tasks are completed on time for a wide range of clients, as well as supporting your fee earners and liaising directly with clients—some of whom are French-speaking.

As a Legal Secretary, your new role will involve:

1. Working alongside business support teams (e.g., document production) internally to ensure tasks are completed to deadlines
2. Opening new clients / new matters and closing matters
3. Diary management and setting up meetings, calls, and appointments
4. Assisting with preparation for meetings on behalf of fee earners
5. Light document amendments when needed prior to meetings
6. Administrative support with completions
7. Building relationships both with internal stakeholders and clients

I am very interested in speaking with candidates who have experience working as a Legal Secretary or secretary (from within a professional services environment) supporting multiple fee earners / professionals, and who possess fluency in both written and spoken French. A passion for empathetic client care and adaptability, along with the ability to prioritise your own workload and strong proofreading, accuracy, and IT skills (MS Office), are important for this role. Any experience supporting fee earners within a Corporate legal team would be of interest but isn't essential.

Salary for this position is approximately £30,000 to £32,000 (depending on experience).

Benefits include: life assurance, private healthcare, Group Income Protection, your birthday off (if it falls on a working day), charity day to use each year, Employee Assistance Programme, and company social events.

The company's stunning offices offer free parking (limited on-site on a first-come, first-served basis) or are close by. If you are travelling by public transport, they are only a short 10-15 minute walk from the nearest train station.
