Edwards Gibson is a niche legal recruiter located in the heart of the City. We are seeking a team assistant with an interest in the business of City law to undertake a mixed role consisting of office administration/PA and the marketing of bespoke projects around the business of law.
Working with our experienced consultants, you will undertake individual projects (such as assisting with professional supplier list responses, ad pitches and legal salary surveys), undertake research into law firms and company legal departments and the legal market in general for use in our comprehensive and regular market updates, compile statistics and oversee the production of content onto our website or external legal electronic or print media.
In addition you will assist with the input of CVs and undertake other office administration matters, which will include: scheduling meetings; interfacing between our IT systems/database and consultants; and being a point of contact with external service providers.
We are looking for a self-starter with a bright personality, tact and the ability to work hard, who will be willing to commit for a minimum of 6 months. You are promised an upbeat, fun and energised office environment with the support of an excellent team of predominantly ex-lawyers.
Over the last few years this support post has been filled by GDL or LPC finishers taking a break to gain more commercial and office experience before commencing training contracts. We have benefited from their commitment and ideas and they have benefited from a helpful introduction to "the business" of law and the wider legal sector.
