I also assisted with marketing for the Partner and her team which included organising and managing in-house client events as well as external lunches and dinner. I would also attend the events to greet guests, hand out name badges and ensure the smooth running of the event on the night. I assisted with gathering information and preparing draft Legal 500 and Chambers reports for the marketing department and would spend time putting together PowerPoint presentations for client pitches. I was a proactive PA ensuring I was one step ahead at all times by being organised and liaising with clients and internal members of the team to ensure the Partner had everything she needed when she needed it. I ensured I knew all of the in-house policies to speed up tasks like signing off expenses and adding 3rd party expenses to client bills. I was the “gate-keeper” to the Partner’s diary, phone and office ensuring I protected her time. Show less

This included overseeing the holiday rota and sick cover, running secretarial team meetings, planning and organising room moves, showing new trainees, summer students and new admin staff round the floor and introducing them to the team as well as organising team drinks and socials. I also attended regular HR meetings to discuss what was happening “behind the scenes” and talk over any issues. I loved working at Bird & Bird, it was one of my favourite law firms to work for. However, I left due to furthering my career with this Partner when she left to work for an American Law firm. Show less
