Legal Personal Assistant

I am currently working closely with a leading International Law Firm who is looking to hire a Personal Assistant to join their Munich office and support a few of the Partners and Fee Earners in their office. The office has a very low turnover among the Fee Earning staff and is a very stable office and the office tends to focus on Corporate and Investment Management matters.

They are ideally looking for a PA who can come in and act as a mentor to some of the other Personal Assistants within the team and take on a bit of a team lead role at the firm.

• Act as a mentor to team members, answer queries and provide training
• Act as a team leader for departmental and firm projects and initiatives
• Manage lawyers’ Outlook calendars, proactively preventing scheduling conflicts and facilitating solutions
• Make travel arrangements and complete travel and expense reports
• Manage workflow and coordinate projects with office services

Requirements

• Previous legal secretarial experience in a large law firm and understanding of structure and best practices
• English fluency at native or bilingual level
• Ability to assume responsibility with minimal supervision, making independent decisions within the scope of assigned authority
