We are currently working with a well-established regional law firm based in Guildford, who are looking to appoint a Legal Support Team Lead within their Commercial Dispute Resolution team. This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate with strong legal secretarial experience, a passion for mentoring and supervising others, and the ability to manage a busy, fast-paced team.

As the Legal Support Team Lead, you will play a key role in supporting up to 8 fee earners, while overseeing and guiding a team of junior secretaries. You will be responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of the team, fostering a positive working environment, and assisting in the development of junior staff through mentorship and leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

* Fee Earner Support: Provide high-level secretarial and administrative support to up to 8 fee earners within the Commercial Dispute Resolution team, managing diaries, preparing legal documents, and ensuring effective client communication.

* Team Leadership & Supervision: Lead and supervise a team of junior secretaries, allocating tasks, monitoring workloads, and providing day-to-day support and guidance.

* Mentoring & Development: Mentor junior team members, helping them to develop professionally by providing training, coaching, and feedback.

* Performance & Salary Reviews: Conduct performance reviews and salary reviews for secretaries, offering constructive feedback and identifying areas for professional growth.

* Process Improvement: Collaborate with senior management to streamline processes, identify efficiencies, and improve the overall workflow within the team.

Key Requirements:

* Legal Secretarial Experience: Strong background as a legal secretary, ideally gained within a commercial or litigation environment (experience in commercial dispute resolution is a plus but not essential).

* Supervisory or Team Leader Experience: Prior experience in a supervisory or team leader role is highly desirable. You will be comfortable managing people, providing guidance, and fostering a collaborative team culture.

* Organisational & Time Management Skills: Exceptional organisational skills with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, prioritising effectively in a busy and fast-paced environment.

* Leadership & Communication Skills: A proactive leader with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, capable of mentoring junior team members and liaising with senior fee earners.

* Attention to Detail: A keen eye for detail, with a focus on accuracy and quality in all aspects of work.

Why This Firm?

* Career Progression: This role provides an excellent opportunity for personal and professional development, with clear paths for growth within the firm.

* Collaborative Team Environment: Join a supportive and dynamic team where collaboration and mutual respect are at the forefront.
