We are looking for a Senior Legal Project Manager to join our team on a permanent basis. You can be based out of our Bristol, Edinburgh or London offices in our hybrid working environment.

As a Senior Legal Project Manager at Burges Salmon, you'll be at the forefront of legal operations, collaborating closely with our talented lawyers and clients to ensure seamless project execution. You'll be at the heart of strategic legal service delivery, providing crucial support through the following responsibilities:

  • Strategic Insight: Understand our clients' unique needs and develop tailored strategies for efficient legal service delivery.
  • Planning: Planning and managing all operational aspects of legal matters throughout their lifecycle by using various tools and techniques to ensure projects stay on track and within scope.
  • Risk Management: Identify and mitigate potential risks, ensuring projects stay on budget and meet deadlines.
  • Pitching: Contribute to pitch materials that showcase how our legal project management expertise elevates service delivery.

The ideal candidate will have a sincere interest in and passion for project management within the legal field. While experience in dispute resolution cases is preferred, it is not a prerequisite. This role values creativity and lateral thinking; we are in search of individuals who can bring innovative ideas to the table to aid in the efficient delivery of legal services.
