About Law Squared

Forget everything you know about law firms – we’ve found a better way.

Law Squared is a leading Human Centred Law firm, founded in 2016 to provide a true alternative to traditional law firms - for clients and lawyers alike. 

We move fast, think creatively, embrace technology, and care deeply about people - both our clients and our team. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to become the right hand to our CEO and help create leverage at the highest level of the business.

About the role / Key Responsibilities

Our CEO is involved across leadership, clients, business development, people, strategy, and growth.
