• Collaborate with the wider secretarial team to ensure seamless support and cover during absences

What we're looking for:

• Proven secretarial experience; at least 4+ years in a City or US law firm
• Experience in Corporate practice is essential
• Strong copy typing skills (60wpm)
• Familiarity with UK corporate legislation preferred
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• Confident, proactive, and able to manage competing priorities effectively
• Proficient in Microsoft Office with a keen interest in developing IT skills
• Flexible with a positive outlook; happy to support wider teams with an array of duties outside the JD

What’s in it for you:

• Competitive salary reflecting your experience
• Supportive and inclusive team culture – tight-knit, family feel
