Billing Assistant - International Law Firm

We are working with a leading financial services organisation that is looking to appoint an experienced Litigation Paralegal to support its EMEA Litigation team on an interim basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in commercial litigation, disputes or regulatory investigations who would enjoy working in a busy in-house legal environment, gaining exposure to a broad range of contentious matters and working closely with experienced legal counsel.

The position sits within an established litigation team and will involve supporting senior lawyers across disputes, regulatory matters, investigations, escalated complaints and small claims. The work is varied, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to become closely involved in the day-to-day management and progression of matters rather than focusing solely on document review or administrative support.

You'll be responsible for helping manage incoming litigation queries, coordinating the collection and review of relevant documentation, monitoring key deadlines and ensuring matters progress efficiently. You'll also liaise with external counsel, assist with preparing and reviewing correspondence and pleadings, and support the team with reporting, budgeting and matter management.

The organisation uses Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker, so previous experience with legal matter management systems would be useful, although this is not essential.

Depending on your experience, there may also be opportunities to take greater ownership of certain matters, including small claims and Section 75 Consumer Credit Act claims, with appropriate support from the legal team.

We're particularly interested in hearing from paralegals who have gained experience within a litigation or disputes team, whether in private practice or in-house. Experience of commercial litigation, financial services disputes, regulatory investigations or claims handling would be especially relevant.

You'll need to be highly organised, comfortable managing competing deadlines and confident communicating with lawyers, external advisers and internal stakeholders. The team is looking for someone proactive, reliable and willing to take responsibility for their work in a fast-paced environment.

The assignment is expected to start as soon as possible and run until May 2027, on a full-time basis. The working arrangement is hybrid, with three days per week in the London office.

If you're an experienced Litigation Paralegal who is immediately available or coming to the end of an existing assignment, we'd be very interested in hearing from you.

We are working with a leading US law firm that is looking to appoint a Senior Lateral Recruiting Coordinator to join its London team on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

The firm has an established international presence and works with some of the world's most prominent businesses, financial institutions and investment managers. With a busy lateral recruitment function supporting multiple practice groups, this is an opportunity to become part of a team that plays an important role in attracting and securing legal talent across its international offices.

Working closely with the Manager of Legal Recruiting, you will be involved in the day-to-day delivery of lateral associate recruitment, supporting hiring activity across London and other international offices. The position offers plenty of variety, from coordinating interviews and managing candidate submissions through to working with recruitment agencies, preparing recruitment reports and helping the team understand hiring activity and wider market trends.

There is a significant relationship-management element to the role. You'll be liaising regularly with partners, lawyers, recruitment agencies and colleagues across HR, ensuring that recruitment processes are well organised, information is accurately maintained and candidates receive a positive experience throughout.

Alongside this, you'll support the administration of recruitment agreements, placement fees and invoices, maintain recruitment systems and trackers, and assist with broader recruitment projects as required. There may also be opportunities to support the graduate recruitment team.

We're interested in speaking with individuals who have gained around three to five years' experience in recruitment within a law firm or wider professional services environment. Previous exposure to lateral or experienced-hire recruitment would be particularly useful, although we're equally interested in individuals who have developed strong recruitment coordination skills and are looking to take on greater responsibility.

You'll need to be comfortable working in a busy environment, managing competing priorities and building relationships with stakeholders at different levels. Strong attention to detail, confidence with recruitment systems and Excel, and a genuinely organised approach will be important. French language skills would be an advantage, but are by no means essential.

This could be a particularly good opportunity for an experienced Recruitment Coordinator who enjoys the operational and relationship-driven side of recruitment and would welcome the chance to work within an international US law firm environment.

We're working with a leading international law firm that is looking to recruit a Legal Project Management Analyst to join its growing London team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a bright, analytical and commercially minded individual who wants to build a career within the business side of the legal industry, working closely with lawyers, finance teams and senior stakeholders to support the delivery of complex legal matters.

And the exciting part? You don't necessarily need previous law firm experience.

Our client is genuinely open to recent graduates and individuals at the beginning of their careers who can demonstrate strong analytical skills, curiosity, initiative and an interest in understanding how international businesses operate.

Legal Project Management is an increasingly important part of the modern legal industry. Behind every major transaction, dispute or complex client matter sits a team ensuring that work is properly planned, budgets are monitored, resources are managed effectively and clients receive clear, commercially focused reporting.

You'll become part of that process, supporting the firm's Legal Project Management team with everything from matter planning and financial analysis to project reporting, budget tracking and improving how information is communicated to lawyers and clients.

You'll also gain exposure to the commercial side of legal practice, helping teams prepare proposals for new work, understand matter costs, monitor changes in scope and explore different pricing arrangements.

Technology is another important part of this position. The team is looking at how data, reporting tools and generative AI can improve efficiency and reduce administrative work, so you'll have opportunities to get involved in developing dashboards, improving reporting processes and exploring new ways of working.

We're particularly interested in hearing from candidates who enjoy working with numbers, solving problems and understanding how things work. You'll need to be highly organised, confident using Excel and comfortable handling detailed information, but just as importantly, you'll need the confidence to ask questions, challenge existing processes and suggest better ways of doing things.

Experience with Power BI, SQL, Tableau or data analysis would be advantageous, but certainly isn't essential. The firm is much more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, analytical ability and willingness to learn.

Whether you've recently graduated in Law, Business, Finance, Economics or another discipline, or you've gained relevant experience in an administrative, analytical or project support position, we'd be interested in hearing from you.

This is a permanent opportunity offering a competitive salary, hybrid working with three days per week in the London office and the chance to develop a specialist career within an established international law firm.

For someone who enjoys combining analytical thinking, commercial awareness, technology and working with people, this could be an excellent opportunity to take the next step in their career.
