Legal Secretary – London

We're currently looking for a Secretary to join our thriving London office.  Situated in the most picturesque spot on the Thames and overlooking Tower Bridge, it's hard to imagine a more stunning location. This role is a full time position covering maternity on a 6 month contract.

So what are we looking for?

In order to provide excellent service to clients, we need excellent people.  Aside from our Lawyers we also need skilled and talented support staff and this leads to our current opening in London.  We are looking for a secretary to support a team of lawyers across our Corporate Commercial Business Group.

You must have a strong legal secretarial background as you'll be working across multiple teams, with proven experience of working within a professional law firm.   Excellent IT skills and a strong team ethic are essential as you will need to be able to work closely with your team members to deliver a first class service to our clients.  You must be able to demonstrate strong audio typing skills using digital dictation, be a strong team player with a flexible attitude to work. Good communication and relationship building skills are a must, as is the ability to meet deadlines.  We use Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook, so experience of working with these and other bespoke legal packages is necessary.

Why work for Womble Bond Dickinson?

A Top 100 law firm globally and Top 20 law firm in the UK, Womble Bond Dickinson has more than 400 partners and 1,000 lawyers based across 18 US cities and eight UK cities including a significant presence in London. The firm's reach also extends to Europe where it has strategic partnerships with other law firms in Germany and France.

In the UK, Womble Bond Dickinson advises in excess of 40 FTSE 350 companies, many of the largest businesses in the country, government organisations and wealthy individuals. With a focus on eleven key sectors (Energy & Natural Resources; Financial Institutions; Healthcare;  Insurance, Manufacturing;  Real Estate; Retail and Consumer; Transport, Logistics & Infrastructure; Life Sciences & Pharmaceuticals; Technology and Private Wealth) the firm’s experience allows it to build strong relationships and deliver an excellent service to clients.

All our offices are impressive and looked after by our great Facilities and Guest Services team.  We have a forward thinking IT team who are always updating our systems.  As you'd expect in a firm our size you'll receive a comprehensive benefits package which you can manage personally. In addition, through our D&I practices and programmes we work hard to ensure that difference is visibly valued and welcomed. Visit our D&I page to find out more.

But most of all – it's our people and culture that make it a great place to work.
