I’m working on an exciting opportunity for a Senior Legal Assistant to support a Partner in a global law firm’s Commodities team. The Partner travels internationally a lot, so they need someone proactive, organised, and always one step ahead.

It’s a global firm, but there’s a small firm feel, you’ll really be embedded in the team, and there’s scope for this role to grow into a team lead position over time. The culture is flexible and family-focused, so you get a real mix of challenge and support.

The role involves:

• Managing the Partner’s diary, travel, and client meetings;

• Opening new matters and following Risk & Compliance procedures;

• Drafting Client Care Letters and preparing bills;

• Maintaining filing systems and keeping records up to date;

• Assisting with client events and office admin, including supporting new staff; and

• Completing expense reconciliation and coordinating case prep materials.

• Performing legal research

What’s on offer:

• Opportunity to provide high level support 1:1;

• Competitive salary and bonus scheme;

• Flexible, family-friendly work culture – 1-2 days WFH; and

• Modern CBD offices with excellent facilities.
