At Realm Recruit, we work with a multitude of firms across the North West, Yorkshire and the West Midlands, ranging from independent practices to national heavyweights. If you are looking for a great new legal secretarial or administration role, we will know the perfect firm for you…
We recruit for legal secretarial and admin roles at all levels, whether you are just starting out in the legal sector or have years of experience under your belt. By matching the right professionals with the right firms, we help develop careers and provide law firms with the talent they need for their businesses to grow.
Legal secretaries and admin professionals are integral to the running of a law firm, as they provide the support and structure needed for lawyers and other fee earners to work effectively and efficiently. They will often be the face of a team, providing the first point of contact by telephone, email and other channels, and ensuring the smooth running of files.
If you’re a legal secretary or administrator looking for a new opportunity, or a hiring manager looking to bolster your team, contact our legal support specialists today.
We have two fantastic recruiters specialising in the recruitment of legal secretaries and administration specialists:
For support roles in Commercial Insurance and Personal Injury, contact Kathryn McGeoghegan.
For support roles in all other legal practice areas, contact Ben Cowlishaw.
Our narrow but deep focus allows us to get to know the legal support professionals and law firms we work with properly. Here’s why our specialist approach will benefit you in your job search...
We'll explain not only who is actively recruiting within legal support, but also who’s looking to grow and the salaries and benefits on offer.
Because we’re ultra-niche, we have access to exciting opportunities that might not be advertised.
Our understanding of the market enables us to offer you fair and honest advice.

I could not have had a better experience with Realm Recruit. Within a week of speaking with Paula for the first time, I was accepting my position at my new firm. I would recommend Realm and Paula to anybody looking to make a career move.

Kelly's knowledge of the private client market on a local and national level was invaluable. She was approachable and open throughout the process and I would happily recommend Kelly to anyone considering their next career move.
Helen Gott
Senior Associate
I can't thank Kelly enough for all her help and support in getting me my new role. I was at somewhat of a crossroads and looking to make a bit of a non-conventional move by swapping specialisms which is difficult enough on its own never mind during a global pandemic. Kelly really took the time to find out what I wanted from my next role and helped find firms which matched that. She knows the private client industry exceptionally well and truly is excellent at her job. she was prompt with her feedback and so helpful during the entire process from CV to interview and negotiation of terms. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to any firms or solicitors looking for their next employee or next role. Thanks again Kelly!
