The role legal project assistant is a new role in our office because we saw a need for a hybrid role between legal assistant and project leader. As a legal project assistant you will work closely with the commercial team and being a key person in the day-to-day business.
You will lead various types of projects and handle the whole client life cycle. You will work on pitches for clients, case presentations and during the whole process work closely with our lawyers to delivering a high-class experience for our clients and internally for us. Being the legal project assistant, you will follow up deadlines, handle budget towards the client and continuously following-up. Your role also includes assisting in translations and other administrative tasks.
To be successful in this role we see that
You have the ability to think strategically and a proactive way of working. You take charge if you see something that needs to be done. You have customer focus and thrive in building great relationships internally and with our clients. Structure is important to you and you have an eye for detail. New tasks can come in at short notice, so flexibility is important, you need to be able to shift direction and see what needs to be prioritized. You are also curious and always wanting to learn more.
What we look for in applicants
Since we are an international law firm, fluency in Swedish and English is required. The role entails working in Power Point, Excel and Word, knowledge in these systems is therefore important. We also see that you have worked in a similar role before. Experience of working in a time and billing program as well as in a law firm is a plus!
We’re an international law firm that’s hardwired to anticipate and uncover the opportunities in change – and we have 31 offices and over 1,400 lawyers helping clients to do just that. We are one firm. Your firm.
We are sector-led which means we know our clients’ sectors inside out. And we’re proud to be curious and to connect the dots to reach solutions others don’t. We work closely with our clients and make things easier for them. We look to deliver new improved solutions and services. Our lawyers and our business services teams take on our client’s problems as if they were our own, but more than that, we work as one seamless international team across our business and theirs, giving our clients and our people access to a whole world of expertise.
