Keystone is a firm that was founded upon a desire to do things differently. The original concept was to build a law firm in which lawyers could focus on working with clients, free from management obligations and administrative distractions, whilst being helped by teams of people who are there to support them. The concept endures to this day.

Keystone Law is a multiple award-winning Top 50 UK firm that continues to make waves in the legal sector. Our lawyers are ranked in Chambers & Partners and Legal 500, and in November 2020, we were named Law Firm of the Year at the prestigious "The Lawyer Awards", the ultimate accolade in the legal profession. In January 2021, Keystone was also crowned Happiest Law Firm of the Year by RollOnFriday. Keystone lawyers are known to be some of the most satisfied and driven individuals in the legal profession.

One of our employment partners, Kelly Sayers, is recruiting for a legal assistant to join her growing team - this is a new position. Experience in employment law is desirable, but not essential. Kelly's clients include a wide range of commercial clients in a variety of sectors (including transport and logistics, retail, and technology), high-profile charities, and senior employees.

The role would suit an applicant at any stage of their career with an interest in law. Applicants should have strong communication and organisational skills, be comfortable with research tasks, and be able to liaise with clients and others confidently Applicants should also be able to work to deadlines and be proactive whilst also having excellent attention to detail. This role would suit somebody who is happy to work from home, with some time spent working the team's Ipswich office. There may be occasional travel to the London office once every couple of months.

This is a great opportunity for a candidate looking to join a growing team doing high-quality work in what is probably the UK's happiest law firm.
