Not every management role is the same. Neither is every manager.
If you’re looking for a role where you can genuinely influence the future of legal support—not simply manage a team—this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
We’re partnering with one of London’s most progressive international law firms as they continue investing in the evolution of their Legal PA and Business Support function. This is a firm with ambitious growth plans, significant investment in technology and AI, and a genuine commitment to developing its people.
But what really makes this opportunity stand out?
The leadership.
You’ll report into an exceptional manager who has built a reputation for developing people, championing innovation and continually challenging the status quo.
Someone who doesn’t see Legal PAs as reactive assistants.
They see them as strategic business partners.
Someone who believes AI isn’t replacing great Legal PAs—it’s removing repetitive administration so talented people can spend more time adding real commercial value.
You’ll be encouraged to bring ideas, challenge existing processes, embrace new technology and help shape what the future of legal support looks like.
If you’ve ever wanted to work for a leader who genuinely invests in their team’s careers, this is that opportunity.
The role
You’ll lead and inspire an established Legal PA team, ensuring they continue delivering an exceptional service whilst helping drive the next generation of business support across the firm.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading, coaching and developing a high-performing team of Legal PAs
- Managing workflow, capacity planning and resource allocation
- Reviewing support structures to ensure they evolve with the needs of the business
- Championing AI, Copilot and smarter ways of working
- Driving continuous improvement projects and operational efficiencies
- Supporting recruitment, onboarding, mentoring and succession planning
- Building strong relationships with Partners and senior stakeholders
- Creating an environment where people can thrive and develop their careers.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll already have experience managing Legal PAs or Business Support professionals within a law firm or professional services environment.
More importantly, you’ll be someone who:
✔ Loves developing people
✔ Leads with empathy, honesty and accountability
✔ Gets excited by technology and AI rather than feeling threatened by it
✔ Thinks commercially as well as operationally
✔ Enjoys improving processes and finding smarter ways of working
✔ Can confidently build relationships with senior stakeholders
✔ Wants to play a genuine role in shaping the future of legal support.
Why you’ll love it
This is one of those rare opportunities where everything aligns.
✔ A genuinely forward-thinking international law firm
✔ A manager who is passionate about coaching and developing their team
✔ A culture that embraces innovation rather than resists it
✔ Significant investment in AI, technology and continuous improvement
✔ Hybrid working (3 days in the office)
✔ £65,000-£68,000 salary plus excellent benefits
✔ Outstanding long-term career progression as the firm continues to grow.
