Ready to bring your business-support smarts to a top-tier legal practice — and shape how the work gets done?

Our client is a leading, top-tier law firm where excellence isn't just expected, it's embedded in everything they do.

The Role
Joining a high-performing Practice Support team, you'll deliver proactive, strategic business support and play a key role in managing the financial aspects of partners' practices, including client reporting. This role demands precision, initiative and a real understanding of the commercial drivers behind a top-tier practice. Day to day, you'll:

• Support senior operatives with practice and client management — financials, diary, expenses, document management and LMS administration
• Manage administrative client requirements to ensure consistent service delivery across matter teams
• Interpret data and apply client knowledge to support partners with practice management
• Own the administrative financials of a matter — billing, e-billing audits, tracking non-dispatched bills, missing timesheets, cost estimates and reporting
• Collaborate across (and beyond) the Practice Support team to uphold high standards of service
• Act as a go-to source of guidance on document production and practice management processes

About You

• Experience in a similar role, ideally within a law firm (finance, accounting or other professional services backgrounds also welcome)
• Strong written communication and keen attention to detail — able to draft correspondence, presentations, pitch documents and slide packs quickly and accurately
• Strong organisational skills, thriving in an environment of continuous change and challenging stakeholders
• A high degree of initiative, proactivity and problem-solving, with genuine ownership of tasks and a drive to improve systems and practices
• Strong influencing skills, with the ability to respectfully manage upwards
• A desire to learn, grow, network and mentor others

The Benefits

• Join a globally connected, top-tier firm with a culture built on excellence and inclusion
• Unparalleled learning and development, with structured coaching and support
• A transparent, take-control approach to career development
• International secondment opportunities through the firm's global alliance
• Hybrid working (60% in-office), with flexibility considered for individual circumstances
• Be part of a team trusted to deliver results and contribute to firm-wide initiatives
