Executive Assistant (Legal Services)

Our client is a fast-scaling corporate business and Corporate is the engine room of this firm and a Head of Department whose diary doesn't stop moving. They need an EA who can operate at deal pace, not office pace.

This exceptionally busy role will entail:

Running a diary built around deal timetables, signings, completions, and client calls that move (and move again) with no notice
Coordinating completion day logistics: documents, signatories, funds, and juggling ever changing priorities
Managing the flow of engagement letters, conflict checks, and matter opening so new instructions don't sit waiting on admin
Liaising directly with clients, GCs, and their PAs/EAs and often you are their first point of contact, so tone and judgement matter
Coordinating with the team, associates, paralegals, trainees to keep completion checklists on track
Building and maintaining client relationships alongside the Head of Corporate: BD trips, client entertaining, roadshows, panel reviews
Expense and billing support , disbursements, invoice queries chased before they become a problem
Travel coordination that can flip at short notice when a deal calls a partner to London, or a client wants them on-site tomorrow
Being trusted with commercially sensitive, market-moving information

Applicants MUST have:

Genuine EA experience supporting at Head of Department / senior partner level, ideally in corporate, M&A, banking, or another transactional practice
Comfortable with ambiguity and last-minute change
The judgement to triage what needs the partner's attention now versus what can wait, without being told
Client-facing experience
