Having joined the firm as Evening Secretarial Coordinator I moved to a day-time PA position after three years to a Senior Corporate Partner and team.

London, United Kingdom

My position at Allen & Overy included producing legal documentation from manuscripts, OCRs, PDFs and audio dictation in the very busy 24/7 International department, supporting the Litigation, Private Clients, Real Estate and Tax departments and also their overseas offices. Our team also provided support to the Banking and Corporate departments when they had a heavy workload and took handovers from them as they did not operate a 24/7 department. The role involved intensive use of Word, Excel and PowerPoint in DocsOpen and the DeltaView document comparison package. Other tasks included booking in jobs, dealing with the Fee Earners and their Assistants should they have any queries relating to their jobs and also any technical questions they might have relating to the Microsoft Office Suite.

One of my main roles within the Financial Sponsors group of the European Leveraged Finance department was the maintenance and dynamic improvement and development of an online LBO database, which required intensive liaison with the banking professionals and developers and also necessitated in-depth data research. Another main part of the job was the creation and amendment of presentations for the group of 30 plus professionals, which utilised my previous expertise and experience as a DTP Operator in the Presentations department of Deutsche Bank. Working during the evenings for this very busy group provided me with a great variety of tasks whilst working to tight deadlines on various projects and publications. The other tasks undertaken included telephones and diary management as well as documenting expense claims, general secretarial support (including audio typing) and food orders for the teams.

The Presentations department at Deutsche Bank is a dynamic, efficient, multi-lingual environment supporting Global Corporate Finance. During my time within the department, I gained advanced knowledge of Word, Excel and PowerPoint using the in-house template to produce high quality marketing and transaction books for the banking professionals. This necessitated accuracy and an eye for detail as well as the ability to create a high quality visual presentation from a hand-written manuscript whilst maintaining tight turnarounds and production timescales. I also undertook German language work as I have had experience in the language.

During my time in the Investment Banking Division, I provided full, evening secretarial support to the large team of UK M&A professionals (c. 20). As an evening secretary I had to work on my own initiative for a large part of the time. The role included production of presentations, information memoranda, offer documentation, letters and faxes. Due to the nature of evening work in Investment Banking there was a need to work extensively with the presentation templates, which were created in-house.
