Our client, a global luxury brand, is seeking a proactive, highly motivated secretary / administrator to support their London team of in-house lawyers. Prior experience working in-house is not required but it is essential that you have a minimum of two years’ experience working as a secretary, PA, or administrator within a legal environment to be considered.

Our client is looking for someone with a true team mentality and an enthusiastic "can-do" attitude. You will play a pivotal role in managing daily legal and administrative operations, with a primary focus on supporting legal counsel in the UK and other international offices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Handle day-to-day administrative operations for the team, including organising travel itineraries, managing expense submissions, filtering team inboxes, and liaising with the finance team to track invoicing.
• Help prepare and format legal templates, agreements, taking ownership of the digital signature workflow and keeping a close eye on completion timelines.
• Act as a key point of contact for head office colleagues and external partners to help oversee compliance, update statutory registers, and coordinate timely filings with regulatory bodies like Companies House.
• Keep digital workspaces and documents organised and accessible in line with internal filing policies and helping gather documentation for information requests and audits.

The successful candidate will bring a naturally positive energy and a motivated approach to their work. You should be confident working independently when required, but truly enjoy working as part of a close-knit, supportive group. Strong organisational skills, keen attention to detail, and proficiency with document management platforms are highly valued for this role. If you are looking to take the next step in your career within a prestigious global setting, then this could be an exciting opportunity. Some hybrid working available.
