About the Role:
The City of London is one of the world's leading legal and financial centres, and at Sepulveda Legal & Business Advisory Ltd, we help businesses and clients navigate complex legal matters through strategic planning, operational excellence, and trusted advisory services. We believe successful legal projects require more than legal expertise—they require exceptional organization, communication, and leadership.
We are looking for a Legal Project Manager who can take ownership of the planning, coordination, and successful delivery of legal matters and business initiatives. You won't simply be tracking deadlines; you will be driving collaboration across legal professionals, clients, and stakeholders to ensure every project is delivered efficiently, on time, and to the highest professional standards.
Why Work With Us?
Meaningful Work: You'll manage high-value legal and commercial projects that have a direct impact on our clients' success while working alongside experienced legal professionals.
Collaborative Culture: We believe the best outcomes come from teamwork. You'll work closely with solicitors, consultants, and business leaders in an environment where your ideas and expertise are valued.
Professional Development: We invest in your long-term growth through continuous learning opportunities, industry training, and exposure to a diverse range of legal and business projects.
Modern Ways of Working: We embrace technology, digital collaboration tools, and efficient project management practices that help our teams deliver exceptional client service.
Key Responsibilities:
Project Delivery: Plan, coordinate, and oversee multiple legal projects from initiation through completion while ensuring milestones, budgets, and deadlines are achieved.
Stakeholder Coordination: Act as the central point of communication between legal teams, clients, external partners, and internal stakeholders to maintain project alignment.
Risk & Timeline Management: Identify project risks, monitor progress, resolve issues proactively, and implement solutions that keep projects moving forward.
Process Improvement: Review existing workflows, recommend operational improvements, and support the implementation of best practices across legal operations.
Reporting & Documentation: Prepare project plans, status reports, meeting documentation, and performance updates for leadership and clients.
What We Are Looking For:
Experience: 4+ years of experience in Legal Project Management, Project Management, Legal Operations, or a similar role within a legal or professional services environment.
Project Management Expertise: Strong understanding of project planning, scheduling, stakeholder management, budgeting, and risk management across multiple concurrent projects.
Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to build relationships and confidently engage with clients, legal professionals, and senior leadership.
Technical Skills: Experience using Microsoft Office, project management software, collaboration platforms, and reporting tools to manage projects efficiently.
Mindset: You are proactive, detail-oriented, and solutions-focused. You remain calm under pressure, enjoy improving processes, and take pride in delivering exceptional client service while managing competing priorities.
