Receptionist

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're working with a leading international US law firm that is looking to appoint a Billing Assistant to join its London finance team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with some experience in billing, invoicing, accounts or finance administration who is looking to develop their career within a professional services environment.

Importantly, previous law firm experience isn't essential. The firm is very open to candidates from other industries and is more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn and the potential to develop within the team.

You'll be joining an established finance function, supporting the day-to-day billing process and working closely with colleagues across finance and the wider business.

The role will involve assisting with the preparation and processing of invoices, supporting billing queries, maintaining accurate financial records, helping with work-in-progress reporting and ensuring billing information is processed accurately and efficiently. You'll also gain exposure to the firm's billing systems, processes and wider finance operations.

We're particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have gained some experience in an accounts, billing, invoicing or finance administration position, whether that's within professional services, retail, hospitality, financial services or another commercial environment.

You'll need to be comfortable working with numbers, have good attention to detail and be organised enough to manage competing priorities. Some experience with Excel would be useful, but you certainly don't need to arrive knowing everything about legal billing.

What matters most is your approach. The team is looking for someone who's enthusiastic, reliable, keen to learn and happy to get involved wherever needed. Someone who asks questions, takes ownership of their work and genuinely wants to build their knowledge and experience.

For someone looking to take their first step into the legal sector, this could be a particularly attractive opportunity. You'll gain exposure to the finance operations of a highly regarded international law firm, with the chance to develop specialist billing knowledge over time.

If you're currently working in billing, accounts or finance administration and would be interested in exploring a move into the legal sector, we'd be very happy to hear 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.
