This is a chance to work with a leading firm that values innovation, collaboration, and excellence in delivery. We are ideally looking to speak to candidates in a commutable distance to our London office as full time office attendance is required.
This role is offered as an initial 3–6 month contract, with the potential for extension, and will be paid on a day rate via an Umbrella company.
We are also open to speaking with Contract Legal Project Managers based in London, so if you have strong project management skills and thrive in a fast-paced setting, we’d love to hear from you.

- Prepare proposals and support bids where Legal Project Management is core to successful service delivery.
- Establish and apply consistent LPM methods, templates and tooling across matters.
- Produce regular status reporting, dashboards and post‑matter reviews; capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement.
- Plan and manage resourcing for high‑volume programs (e.g., paralegal teams), including onboarding, work allocation and quality assurance.
- Champion and help embed legal technology and process improvement; support change management and adoption activities.
- Contribute to LPM capability building (training, coaching and share best practice) across the firm.
Skills & Experience
- Project management qualification (APM, PRINCE2, PMP, MSP/MoP) or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years’ experience delivering projects in legal/professional services, with exposure to litigation, corporate, real estate and remediation projects.

- Experience managing multiple concurrent projects and large teams; able to prioritise and work at pace.
- Practical knowledge of legal process improvement, design thinking/legal design and alternative delivery strategies.
- Hands‑on familiarity with legal technology solutions (including AI‑enabled tools) and embedding change.
- Excellent communication skills; able to translate client needs into clear delivery plans and documentation.
- Degree‑level education; Law degree preferred but not essential.
