A bit about us. This video marks three decades of Ledingham Chalmers and explores our heritage, culture and what happens next, including our ambitious growth plans.
A central part of our approach is our core values, which guide how we work with each other, and our clients.
The roles and requirements
Our teams are growing, and we’re looking for a PA for both our private client and commercial property teams, as well as a PA or administrator for litigation.
Our ideal candidates will have organisational skills that are second to none, as well as keen attention to detail.
You’ll also be an unflappable problem solver and a great communicator (you’ll often be the first point of contact for clients). Ideally, you’d have experience in legal administrative duties for the relevant discipline.
Plus, for the litigation role, previous court experience would be helpful, but not essential.
You’ll also be confident using Microsoft Outlook and Word and be able to demonstrate a proactive approach to a varied and interesting workload including —
Managing and directing queries, including those from clients, to the appropriate colleague
Meeting organisation and support
Managing partners’ diaries
Client case administration including compliance, billing and opening/closing files
Documentation management as well as audio typing
Why Ledingham Chalmers?
In these roles you’ll work with friendly, collaborative colleagues across Scotland.
Plus, there are great opportunities at Ledingham Chalmers for personal development, training, and progression in a supportive environment.
A few months ago we announced our latest figures, showing increased profits for the 2020/2021 financial year. At the same time we revealed we'd be investing six-figures over the next 12 months as part of our growth strategy to double revenue to £25million by 2025.
Having the right team in place will, of course, be instrumental to reaching that goal.
Importantly too, these posts come with an attractive remuneration and holiday package as well as other bonuses, subject to qualifying conditions, and an additional day off on top of holiday entitlement for your birthday.
