Legal Secretary move in-house! If you're a legal secretary longing for a substantial level of involvement, security or just a more enjoyable career, then this global leisure company could have the perfect role. They are now looking to recruit a Legal PA to join their in-house legal team and take on a highly involved and highly rewarding role supporting their senior lawyers.

Based in their City HQ (St Paul's), this role will support both the UK and European businesses, as well as liaising with their panel of advising law firms. They are hoping to meet legal secretaries either looking to make their first in-house move, or a legal secretary who is already in-house and wants to switch into something more involved.
