  • London
  • Permanent

A standout opportunity has arisen for a polished, proactive Legal PA to support senior leadership within a high-performing Funds team. Working closely with Head of Department–level Partners, this role is suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-profile environment and is looking to build a long-term career at the top end of the legal market.

You’ll be joining a prestigious US law firm renowned for its exceptional growth in London, elite talent, and involvement in some of the most high-value and complex matters globally. The firm has made a significant impact on the London market in recent years, widely recognised for its strategic expansion and ability to attract leading lawyers from top-tier international firms.

Why This Firm Stands Out

You will be supporting senior figures within a firm that:

  • Has rapidly expanded its London presence, bringing in high-calibre lawyers and market-leading teams
  • Is recognised globally for its strength across private funds, private equity, complex cross-border transactions, and high-stakes matters
  • Is viewed as one of the most ambitious and impactful players in the London legal and financial landscape

Put simply, this is a rare opportunity to support at the forefront of a top-tier, high-growth practice.

Key Responsibilities

This is a hands-on, high-level PA role where responsibilities will include:

  • Providing proactive, strategic support to Head of Department–level Partners
  • Complex diary and inbox management, coordinating meetings across multiple time zones
  • Full international and domestic travel planning, often with changing priorities
  • Liaising closely with Business Development to support client activity and relationship management
  • Acting as a key point of contact, handling sensitive communications with discretion
  • Preparing and formatting high-quality documents, presentations, and correspondence
  • Managing confidential documentation and maintaining accurate records
  • Coordinating billing, expenses, and financial processes with internal teams
  • Utilising firm systems to streamline processes and improve efficiency
  • Supporting on ad hoc projects and providing flexible, team-focused assistance

About You

  • 3–6 years’ experience in a Legal PA or high-level administrative role within professional services
  • Strong technical skills across Microsoft Office, Adobe, document management, and billing systems
  • Highly organised, adaptable, and confident managing competing priorities
  • Professional, polished, and confident in your communication style
  • Proactive, reliable, and comfortable taking ownership of responsibilities
  • A collaborative team player with a positive, solutions-focused mindset

What This Role Offers

  • Direct exposure to senior leadership within a leading Funds practice
  • A fast-paced, high-performance environment with strong recognition and reward
  • The opportunity to be part of a globally respected, ambitious firm
  • Genuine long-term progression within a top-tier legal setting

Additional Benefits

  • Competitive employer pension contribution (no employee input required)
  • Wellbeing allowance
  • Stunning on-site restaurant with complimentary breakfast and lunch daily
  • 4 days in the office
