Open Positions

Our thriving Manchester office is looking for a Legal Secretary or Junior Legal Secretary to join our Real Estate Practice Group. We need you to be an organised, professional individual who has a "can do" attitude and willing to go that extra mile to help colleagues at all times.

Our Firm

Squire Patton Boggs is one of the world's strongest integrated law firms, committed to providing insight at the point where law, business and government meet. We deliver commercially focused business solutions by combining our legal, lobbying and political capabilities and invaluable connections on the ground to a diverse mix of clients, from long-established leading corporations to emerging businesses, start-up visionaries and sovereign nations. With over 1,500 lawyers spanning more than 40 offices across four continents, the firm is renowned for its local connections and global influence, delivering comprehensive legal services across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. In the UK, we have offices in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and London.

Our Team

You will be working closely with the Legal Secretaries in our Real Estate Practice Group providing secretarial and administration support to the Partners and Associates. You'll be reporting into the Manchester office Secretarial Services Manager. Occasionally you may be expected to provide support to other teams as and when required.

Our Opportunity

In this dynamic and busy role, no two days will be the same. This role would be ideal for someone who is currently carrying out administration and secretarial duties within an office environment.

You'll conduct client inceptions, billing and will have telephone and email contact with clients. There will be some element of documentation work along with general tasks such as expenses, arranging travel, filing and archiving and getting involved in the daily tasks of a busy law firm.

You must have a positive and professional approach at all times.

You

This is a varied role and you'll therefore need to be an organised and pro-active individual who can easily prioritise. You'll need to be a self-starter and able to manage your time and workload effectively as well demonstrate your flexibility and experience of working in a team to assist other departments when required. You'll also be able to use your initiative and identify where help is needed with limited supervision.

As you will be dealing with individuals at all levels, including clients of the firm, you must be confident in communicating warmly and professionally and have superb interpersonal skills. You'll have good knowledge of all Microsoft packages along with strong keyboard skills, and be meticulous about attention to detail.

Experience of Real Estate is not essential. Knowledge of Land Registry forms, uploading applications, as well as experience of Search Acumen would be beneficial, but not essential as full training will be provided. You may be a Junior Secretary with some legal experience or be a Secretary looking to move into the legal sector.

Monday-Friday, 9.00am-5.00pm - flexibility required. Hybrid working available.
