Embedded by local champions in each of our UK offices, our well-regarded family and carer, wellbeing and workplace culture and development programmes provide a variety of flexible working options to support individuals' life journeys, helping our people pursue their personal and professional goals.
Our Team
You will be supporting the Labour & Employment Practice Group providing secretarial and administration support. You'll be reporting into the London office Secretarial Services Manager and will be working alongside Partners and Associates and other Secretaries. Occasionally you may be expected to provide support to other teams as and when required.
Our Opportunity

You'll be involved in heavy and complex billing tasks, to include finalising and sending out bills, client and matter inceptions and understanding KYC requirements. Diary management and dealing with international travel form part of this role, along with assisting with extranet sites and updating BD and marketing data.

You
As this is a varied role, you'll need to be an organised, proactive individual who can easily prioritise and juggle workloads.

You'll also have experience of complex billing, client inceptions and working in a law firm, preferably with Labour & Employment experience.
As you will be dealing with clients of the firm, excellent communication skills are key for this role. Ideally you'll have good knowledge of all Microsoft packages along with strong keyboard skills, and a good eye for detail is a must.
You will have a minimum of 5 years' experience of working in a professional service firm.
