A well-established and highly regarded law firm based in the centre of Essex is looking to recruit an experienced Team Coordinator to support its Corporate & Commercial team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role within the practice, ideal for someone who enjoys being the organisational backbone of a busy legal team. It is not a traditional one-to-one PA position; instead, the role has been designed to provide broader support across the department.

You will be responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of the team, acting as a central point of contact and ensuring processes are followed efficiently. Duties will include:

  • Onboarding new clients and managing engagement processes
  • Preparing and issuing quotes
  • Acting as the key liaison between the legal team and Accounts
  • Coordinating and overseeing the day-to-day activities of the Legal Assistants
  • Diary management and booking appointments
  • General team coordination to support fee earners across Corporate/Commercial
  • Occasional involvement in Employment matters

This role would suit an experienced legal support professional who is confident, highly organised, and comfortable working closely with senior stakeholders. You need to have a proactive, hands-on approach and the ability to work autonomously.

What's on Offer:

  • Competitive salary up to £35,000 depending on experience
  • Health cash plan
  • Strong annual leave allowance, plus gifted days over Christmas and New Year
  • Pension scheme
  • A varied and influential position supporting a collaborative legal team
  • Long-term opportunity within a stable and respected firm
  • Fully office-based role
