Legal Practice Manager

Practice Manager – £50,000 - £65,000 + Comprehensive Benefits

Are you an experienced Practice Manager with a strong legal background, looking for an exciting opportunity with room to grow with a highly regarded Legal 500 firm?

This role is perfect for someone ready to make a significant impact in a supportive, ambitious environment where your contributions will be truly valued.

Why This Role Stands Out: If you’re looking for a position that acknowledges and rewards your expertise, this is it. With one day per week working from home, you’ll be at the core of daily operations, supporting a talented team and contributing to the company's expansion strategy which is well underway. Your experience with professional indemnity insurance renewals, board-level decision-making, and shareholder management will be crucial. A background in legal accounts and flexibility to cover multiple sites in Warwickshire would be highly advantageous.

What’s in It for You?

• Competitive Salary: £50,000 - £65,000 based on your experience and impact.
• Annual Leave: 23 days of holiday, plus bank holidays.
• Special Days Off: Enjoy an extra day off each year on your birthday.
• Christmas & New Year Break: Additional holiday over the festive season.
• Long Service Reward: Gain an extra day’s holiday after 5 years, with an additional day each year up to 5 extra days.
• Training and Development: Full induction training, 100% funding for Continuing Competence courses, and financial support for professional qualification training.
• Supportive Benefits: Free or subsidised legal services, medical insurance, and free parking.

Your Role: As the Practice Manager, you’ll be responsible for a wide range of critical functions that ensure smooth and efficient operations within the business. Key responsibilities include:

• Recruitment & Onboarding: Manage recruitment and onboarding processes, ensuring new hires are smoothly integrated into the team.
• HR Duties: Conduct exit interviews, oversee HR practices, and support employee retention strategies.
• Health and Safety Compliance: Ensure a safe and compliant workplace by overseeing health and safety policies and procedures.
• Budget Management: Oversee and manage office budgets, ensuring cost-efficiency and financial prudence.
• Insurance Oversight: Handle professional indemnity and other essential insurance renewals and requirements.
• Lexcel Accreditation: Maintain and improve upon Lexcel standards, coordinating with relevant departments to ensure compliance.
• Strategic Liaison: Work closely with the compliance and marketing managers to align and achieve strategic goals.
• Facilities Management: Oversee office facilities, manage stock levels, security contracts, and liaise with external auditors.

Who We’re Looking For:

• Experience: Minimum of 5 years in practice management within a legal setting.
• Professional Background: Experience with professional indemnity insurance renewals, board-level decisions, legal accounts, and managing Lexcel accreditation is advantageous.
• Location Flexibility: Willingness to cover multiple sites in the Warwickshire area.
• Skills: OrganiSed, proactive, with strong communication skills and a knack for handling diverse responsibilities.
