Legal Secretary - Luxembourg

We are Eversheds Sutherland, a global law firm, with 5,000+ colleagues in more than 30 countries. We’re full service with deep niche and sector experience. Whatever challenge, wherever in the world, we’re equipped and ready to meet it. We live our values, we’re purposeful and purpose-led. So although the world is fast-moving and rapidly changing, we see it as a place where everyone can thrive. We’re ambitious for our clients, our communities – and for you. Whether you’re starting out on your career or well established, whether you’re a lawyer or in business services. If you’re looking for what’s next, we are too.

Due to our continued growth, we are recruiting a Legal Secretary to join our Luxembourg Office.

Our team

The Luxembourg office is part of Eversheds Sutherland’s wider Benelux offering, which also includes our teams in Brussels and the Netherlands. As a fast-growing and ambitious practice, the Benelux team advises clients on both domestic and international matters, working closely with colleagues across the global Eversheds Sutherland network.

Our lawyers in the Benelux are active in a range of key practice areas, including M&A, Financial Services, Banking & Finance, Tax, Corporate Notarial Services, Litigation, Real Estate & Planning, Employment & Pensions and Data, Privacy & Technology. Together, we serve clients across sectors such as industrials, TMT, energy, financial institutions, and life sciences.

Role and key responsibilities

This is a varied and pivotal role in our growing Luxembourg office, reporting to the Benelux Practice Group Support Manager.

Luxembourg is one of our smaller offices in the Benelux region. Given its size, we are looking for a dynamic individual who thrives in a multifaceted role and is eager to support across all areas of the office.

This is not your typical legal Personal Assistant position. In addition to the usual PA duties, the successful candidate will also take on reception and office management responsibilities. From managing diaries and preparing documents to welcoming clients, ordering supplies, and helping organise client events, this is a role for someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in keeping everything running smoothly.

You’ll work closely with the on-site Receptionist and become an integral part of the local team. We're looking for someone who is proactive, enthusiastic, and ready to become a key player in the day-to-day running of the office.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Diary and email inbox management for fee earners

• Matter opening, document preparation, and digital filing

• Running WIP reports and supporting billing-related tasks

• Using tools such as Power BI to support reporting needs

• Acting as a go-to person for day-to-day office coordination

• Supporting the onboarding of new joiners and serving as a central point of contact for general operational matters

Skills and experience

We are looking for a dynamic individual who thrives in a varied, international setting:

• Previous experience working in a law firm in Luxembourg is a requirement

• Experience within an international or global firm is advantageous, but not essential

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities

• A proactive and hands-on approach, with excellent attention to detail

• Confidence using legal tech platforms and other document and case management tools

What’s in it for you?

At Eversheds Sutherland, we provide benefits focused on looking after you: your development, your performance, your financial future and your health, as well as providing the opportunity to make a contribution to the world.

• A broad, varied role where no two days are the same

• A key position within the Luxembourg office, with real visibility and impact

• Opportunities to work with international colleagues across our global offices

• Excellent career progression within a growing and dynamic team

Diversity & Inclusion

At Eversheds Sutherland, “Inclusive” is a core business value. We bring together different skillsets, global mindsets and approaches. We foster diversity of thought and the freedom to put ideas into action. We have an inherent respect for the individual. We have a strong belief in collaboration and teamwork. Sharing ideas, asking questions, solving challenges and meeting our clients’ goals: together.

We want all our people to thrive at work and reach their full potential and we work hard to continue to build a diverse and inclusive culture, monitor and report on our progress and impact, and develop our approach. This is reflected in our policies, systems and processes, and in our work with diversity membership organisations.

Many of our people work flexibly in some way and we are open to considering how we can accommodate flexible working arrangements alongside role requirements. If this is important to you, please talk to us about it during the recruitment process.

We want you to perform at your best during our recruitment process. If there is any adjustment or support you need, please contact us so we can discuss how we can best assist you.

For you,

For your success.

And what's next.
