Personal Assistant to Founding Partners (Fixed Term Contract) job at Remote Full Time

Personal Assistant? Join an entrepreneurial legal firm, supporting scaling businesses

At Jamieson Law, we’re passionate about empowering ambitious entrepreneurs and growth-oriented businesses with expert legal guidance tailored to their unique needs. Founded in 2019, and run by founders Barbara Neilan and Lynne Riddell, we’ve built a reputation for being a strategic legal partner who understands the intricacies of growing a business. Our team is committed to providing pragmatic, commercially sound advice across a range of specialties including corporate law, intellectual property, commercial contracts, and employment policies.

Our entrepreneurial spirit means we know what it takes to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the business world. We pride ourselves on being responsive, commercially aware and always in our clients’ corner, helping them achieve their business goals and secure long-term success. That means we work beyond the tick boxes, beyond the status quo, and beyond the bland, stuffiness of typical legal firms. We work collaboratively and innovatively, always looking ahead and anticipating what’s next for our clients.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for a talented and organised Personal Assistant to join our dynamic team on a temporary basis (maternity leave cover). Reporting directly Barbara Neilan, working for both founding partners, this is a full-time role that is crucial in helping us manage our fast-paced operations.
