Information about the business and team?
Our client is hiring Legal Administration Support. They value humility, collaboration, and a supportive team culture. Their legal teams are known for being down to earth, solution-oriented, and highly collegial. They value positive, energetic, and genuinely curious people - someone who thrives in an enabling, team-first environment. With a significant EMEIA presence supporting employment, litigation and advisory matters across multiple jurisdictions, the legal team is looking to bring in a strong legal administrator to support. The EMEIA Employment team works closely with HR, business leaders and external counsel on employment litigation and regional strategy.

What does the client need help with?
The team's existing legal administrator is due to leave in July. The team has identified an ongoing requirement for this support and is therefore extending the role to a 12 month contract, ideally allowing for a handover from the outgoing administrator.

What will the role involve?
You will provide litigation administration support across the wider EMEIA Employment team, expanding beyond the current support of a single sub team. The role will also include executive assistant support for the Senior Director of EMEIA Employment.
Key responsibilities include:

• Setting up new litigation matters in the matter management and document management systems
• Coordinating the collection of standard documents and evidence, including chasing internal stakeholders and external counsel
• Organising preliminary calls and supporting hearings, including ownership of the hearing calendar
• Managing day to day litigation administration for employment cases, predominantly in Spain, France, Germany and Turkey
• Supporting the Senior Director with calendar management and expenses
• Providing consistent administrative support across a team of approximately seven employment lawyers

What skills do they need?
You will be highly organised and comfortable managing multiple litigation matters simultaneously, with strong attention to detail and confidence working with legal systems and processes. Explicit experience supporting litigation or employment law matters is not essential, however the ability to manage your workload and correspond with senior stakeholders is very important. This role would suit a paralegal or someone with a deferred training contract or a year out, seeking hands on in house experience with a world-leading organisation.

Working Pattern: Full time (hybrid, three days in the office)
Start Date: Late June 2026 (with handover through to 10 July)
Duration: 12 months
