We are working with a growing, specialist law firm seeking a Legal Administrator / Management Support Assistant to support their expanding team.

With plans to add five additional solicitors this year, this is an excellent opportunity to join a fast-paced environment where you'll play a key role in keeping operations running smoothly.

The Role

This is a varied, hands-on position supporting both the legal team and wider management function. You'll act as a central point of coordination, ensuring administrative processes run efficiently and clients receive a high standard of service.

No legal experience is required but would be beneficial - full training will be provided. Strong administrative skills and a proactive attitude are key.

Key Responsibilities

  • Acting as a liaison between clients and solicitors, handling queries and ensuring clear communication
  • Supporting the team with general legal administration and ad hoc management tasks
  • Assisting with billing processes, particularly around the start of each month
  • Providing cover for colleagues during annual leave (e.g. managing enquiries and workflow)
  • Identifying and escalating any client or process issues to the relevant team members
Working Pattern
  • Hybrid working: Two set days a week in the Leeds office, plus one additional floating day once a month to fit around accounts (aligned with billing cycles, typically at the start of the month)
About You
  • Previous administration experience (legal experience is a bonus but not essential)
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, particularly during busy periods
  • Able to manage fluctuating workloads (busy at the start of the month, quieter towards the end)
  • Confident communicator with a professional approach to client interaction
  • Proactive, adaptable, and a strong team player
What's on Offer
  • Salary up to £27,000
  • Full training and ongoing support
  • Opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding legal team
  • Varied role with exposure to both legal and operational functions
