• Competitive salary

We are keen to hear from you if you are interested in joining us. Relevant company secretarial and/or legal experience is preferable, as we are currently looking to fill a more senior advisory role, but we will consider those at all levels. Fundamentally, we are a business that invests in and engages with our people, as co-owners, and what is important to us is to find talented, committed individuals who will join us in driving our business forward for the long-term; maintaining our focus on technical excellence and quality; and delivering a first-class company secretarial service to our enviable client base.

Typical responsibilities (dependent on experience / seniority):

• Providing outsourced company secretarial advice and services to a designated client portfolio and as part of a team for strategically key clients


• Developing specialist knowledge of, and advising clients on, compliance with the Companies Act 2006 and other relevant legislation and regulation


• Providing clients with practical solutions to compliance-related issues


• Drafting high-quality legal and company secretarial documents


• Managing specific projects for clients, such as company eliminations, reconstitution of statutory books and registers, compliance reviews/audits


• Contributing to transactional support projects, working with top tier law firms, on major M&A transactions, IPOs, etc.


• Building and maintaining relationships with clients and intermediary law firms and demonstrating the highest standards of client care


• Assisting the directors with business development activities


• Assisting with the development of new products/services and the development of office systems and procedures


• Assisting with the building of knowledge management systems and precedent banks and actively sharing knowledge


• Developing proficiency in the use of Diligent company secretarial software

• Contributing to the development of a working culture based on openness, respect, courtesy, teamwork and an enjoyable working environment


• Demonstrating flexibility in a small team environment and a willingness to take on additional responsibilities and assist in all aspects of the firm's development

A more senior role would involve taking a lead role in much of the above; advising on more complex and specialist compliance matters; and supervision and training of junior advisors and administrators.

Skills required:

• First class academic, technical and administrative skills


• Strong IT skills, particularly Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook


• Attention to detail and a methodical approach to all tasks


• Positive, can-do, friendly attitude and flexible approach


• Relevant experience preferable, but not essential
