Executive Assistant — Real Estate | Central London | Circa £53,000
Support a member of a top-tier global law firm's Executive Committee, in a business-critical role at the heart of one of the City's leading Real Estate practices.
Why this role stands out
- Global platform, boutique feel — a top-ranked international firm (Chambers UK 2026 and Legal 500 rated) with offices worldwide, known internally for a close-knit, mentorship-led culture rather than a faceless corporate machine.
- A genuinely recognised employer — this firm has recently picked up industry awards for employee wellbeing and inclusion, not just a policy on paper.
- Real seniority, real visibility — you'll be the right hand to an Executive Committee member, giving you exposure, variety and influence well beyond a typical EA brief.
- Specialist real estate exposure — genuine hands-on involvement in Land Registry, Searchflow searches, deeds scheduling and completions, ideal if you want EA work with technical depth, not just diary management.
- Central London, four days in the office — close to the team, close to the action.
What you'll be doing
Owning the partner's diary, meetings, calls and travel (this partner books her own flights, so this is refreshingly light-touch); managing billing end-to-end on 3E (invoices, narratives, cost details, payments, client-specific rate tracking); running the real estate admin engine room — Land Registry Direct, Searchflow, deeds scheduling/storage and Docusign; producing and formatting legal documents, PowerPoint decks and Excel trackers; opening new clients/matters (KYC/AML) and keeping filing watertight; acting as a trusted, discreet point of contact for a senior stakeholder and their clients.
What you'll bring
4+ years' Legal PA/ EA experience in a corporate or professional services environment (law firm experience a strong plus); confidence with Land Registry Direct, Searchflow and Docusign ; strong Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel skills (iManage and 3E valued); typing speed of 60wpm+; discretion, polish and the organisational instincts to manage competing priorities without breaking a sweat.
The package
Circa £53,000, depending on experience · Permanent, full time (35 hours/week) · Four days a week in the office
