Legal Support Supervisor

One of the city's top law firms is looking to hire a Legal Support Supervisor to lead and coordinate their legal support team within the Private Client department. This role would suit someone who has solid experience of working within a Legal Support role and who has the leadership qualities required to manage a team. We are looking for someone to provide high-quality support to fee earners, helping to deliver excellent client service, while acting as line manager to the LSA team and overseeing performance, development and wellbeing.

We don't need someone to have worked within Private Client law previously, but it would be a great advantage if they had.

The role will involve managing departmental resourcing, including recruitment, onboarding and induction, and ensuring effective holiday and sickness cover. Working closely with HR, you will support training and development needs and handle people-related matters. We are also looking for someone to take a proactive approach to improve ways of working, driving efficiencies, liaising with firm-wide support teams, and supporting departmental initiatives and events.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced legal support professional who enjoys balancing direct fee-earner support with leadership and coordination responsibilities in a collaborative and client-focused environment.
