Overview:
At KPMG, you’ll join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: turning insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.
The KPMG Law team has an exciting opportunity for a self-motivated Partner Administrative Assistant. In this role, you will combine your strong organizational skills and stakeholder management to provide executive level support.
The role involves proactively organizing, supporting, and assisting the KPMG Law partners and associates in delivering high quality and timely service, information, and advice to internal and external clients. There is a specific focus on being an integral part of the KPMG Law team in executing its strategy, and meeting performance objectives and long-term strategic aspirations.
What you will do:
- Manage time, resources, workflow, and deadlines of legal professionals, including opening up new files, conducting and coordinating conflict searches and other file-opening processes and procedures, maintaining a filing system for all documents, compiling, and organizing materials for work-in-progress, and maintaining a limitations diary.
- Proactive and independent management of partners’ calendar and contact database to maximize best use of the partners’ time.
- Ensure the preparation and submission of partner timesheets and expense accounts
- Interact with clients and outside service providers to schedule appointments, examinations, and hearings.

- Provide document preparation support for KPMG Partners and engagement team.
- Provide general administrative support to Partners/Lawyers such as filing, answering the telephone, making travel arrangements, preparing bank deposits, photocopying, and binding materials as required.
- Assist with special projects.
At times, business needs arise and employees are required and agree to work beyond their normal work day or work week to fulfill the accountabilities required for their job. Likewise, people need time to devote to personal matters, and our approach to flexibility provides for this.
What you bring to this role:
- College diploma in a legal assistant program or equivalent

- Excellent commitment to providing quality and responsive customer service
- Outstanding time management, problem solving and organizational skills gained in a high volume environment with competing demands and constant changes
- Proven ability to take responsibility and ownership for tasks
