Your expertise, valued from day one

Steele Raymond invests in specialists – whether legal secretaries, finance analysts, compliance officers, IT engineers, marketers or office co-ordinators – because the business only runs well when skilled support teams thrive. 

Contributions from every level influence daily practice - ideas raised in the secretaries’ committee, for example, are heard and acted on. Partners call us the quiet heroes of the business and treat our insight with the same respect they give legal advice.

Make a difference where it matters

Your remit is clear – remove friction so lawyers can deliver decisive client service. A process you streamline today can shorten an exchange tomorrow; a report you refine can help partners give clearer guidance. The result is better outcomes for paying clients and smoother days for colleagues. 

Work in a supportive, agile environment

Firm culture is described internally as a “contented buzz” where people step in when someone feels the pressure and share successes openly. Wellbeing is woven through daily life, from cross-team check-ins to projects led by an active wellbeing committee. Growth brings change, so fresh tech roll outs, office upgrades and process reviews create constant chances to lead mini-projects as the business evolves.  

“There's a genuine sense of care and support that runs through everything we do. Whether it's a small gesture or a thoughtful conversation, every action reflects our shared commitment to each other's wellbeing ”
