Legal PA

I am a highly experienced Legal PA with over 20 years of supporting Partners and fee earners across leading international law firms in the UK and UAE. My background spans Corporate, Banking, Commercial, Arbitration, Construction, IP, and Funds practices, and I have built a strong reputation for dependable executive support and legal operations.

I specialise in complex diary and inbox management, international travel coordination, client and matter onboarding, compliance administration, billing, and document production. I am also experienced in business development support, event coordination, expense management, and office operations, and I am comfortable working across multiple teams and priorities.

Throughout my career, I have supported senior stakeholders in fast-paced environments where accuracy, confidentiality, and professionalism are essential. I am recognised for being organised, solutions-focused, and able to maintain strong working relationships with colleagues, clients, and external contacts at all levels.

My recent roles in Dubai included legal PA, office coordination, and compliance coordination responsibilities, where I handled AML/KYC processes, billing cycles, regulatory submissions, supplier management, and operational improvements. I have also supported HR, IT, Finance, and Compliance teams, giving me a broad understanding of how legal businesses operate.

Earlier in my career, I gained extensive legal secretarial experience in patent, disputes, and criminal law environments in London and Essex. This gave me a strong foundation in legal documentation, deadline management, court processes, and client communication.

I am now seeking a new opportunity in the Suffolk, North Essex, or Norfolk area following my relocation back to the UK. I bring a calm, professional approach, a strong work ethic, and a proven ability to support busy legal teams effectively.
