Greater Manchester – Salary negotiable based on experience

**Legal Administrative Coordinator - Transform the Future of Transactional Law**

Are you ready to be part of a dynamic team that leverages cutting-edge technology and top-tier legal expertise to revolutionise the transactional law space? This role offers the chance to work alongside experienced technologists and legal experts, providing tailored solutions to financial and operational challenges faced by legal departments.

**Why This Role Stands Out:**

- **Innovative Environment:** Join a team that integrates state-of-the-art proprietary technology with the expertise of seasoned lawyers from leading global law firms.
- **Professional Growth:** Engage in a role that encourages collaboration, continuous learning, and the development of new skills.
- **Impactful Work:** Contribute to delivering bespoke solutions that blend technology and service, making a tangible difference in the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of legal operations.
- **Supportive Team:** Work closely with a dedicated M&A legal team, ensuring smooth operations and effective workload management.

**Role Overview:**

As a Legal Administrative Coordinator, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the M&A legal team. Your responsibilities will include managing administrative tasks, tracking data, liaising with clients, and ensuring the seamless operation of the team’s workload. This role is not a paralegal position, training contract, or an SQE route.

**Key Responsibilities:**

- Assist the M&A legal team with administrative workload management.
- Prioritise tasks based on client needs.
- Maintain the internal ticketing system via Trello.
- Identify and flag workload distribution issues to senior management.
- Track data and manage deal codes, ensuring accurate records and timely client follow-up.
- Act as a point of contact for colleagues, fostering effective communication.
- Collaborate to streamline processes and enhance efficiency.
- Organise and maintain documentation and correspondence.

**Essential Requirements:**

- 2-3 years of experience in a legal administrative team, legal secretary, law firm, or project management role.
- Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Strong verbal and written communication abilities.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
- Excellent time management and prioritisation skills.
- Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information.
- Proactive and adaptable approach with a willingness to learn.
- Strong interpersonal skills and team collaboration.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Experience in a legal or private equity environment.
- Familiarity with legal terminology and processes.

**Work Environment:**

This full-time role offers a competitive salary and requires working Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm. Initially, the role demands four days a week in the office for comprehensive training and team engagement. Post-training, a hybrid model may be adopted. Preference is given to Manchester-based candidates or those willing to relocate.

Embark on a career that blends technology and legal expertise to drive innovation in transactional law. Apply now to be part of a transformative journey.
