London (Hybrid Working) | £40,000 - £50,000 per annum

A leading international law firm is seeking an experienced Legal Biller to join its dynamic London-based Finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive and detail-oriented professional to take on a key role in a fast-paced, high-performing environment.

Working closely with another Legal Biller and the wider Accounts team, you will take shared ownership of client billing operations across the London office. This is a hands-on role, suited to someone who thrives on deadlines, enjoys improving processes, and can build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare, review, and process high volumes of client invoices, including using tools like Pre-bill Viewer.
  • Liaise with internal teams and external clients to ensure timely and accurate billing.
  • Manage e-billing portals and work closely with the e-billing team to reconcile submissions.
  • Maintain accurate and organised billing records, invoice folders, and related documentation.
  • Handle billing queries efficiently and professionally.
  • Produce regular and ad-hoc billing reports; proactively identify ways to streamline and automate reporting.
  • Provide billing support during peak periods (e.g., Collection Drives in June and December).
  • Support annual audits (Statutory, SRA, Internal).
  • Provide cover during team absences or annual leave.
  • Assist with special billing projects and other finance-related initiatives as needed.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in legal billing - ideally within a law firm or professional services environment.
  • Strong understanding of VAT, compliance requirements, and billing best practices.
  • Familiarity with legal billing systems such as Aderant (or similar platforms).
  • Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail, especially under pressure or tight deadlines.
  • Strong communication skills - both written and verbal.
  • Able to work independently, prioritise tasks effectively, and manage competing deadlines.
  • A collaborative team player with a positive, solutions-focused mindset.
  • A passion for improving processes and driving efficiency.
  • E-billing and collections experience is beneficial but not essential.

Why Join?

  • Competitive salary of £40,000 - £50,000 per year.
  • Supportive, collaborative team culture.
  • Exposure to high-quality international legal work.
  • Opportunity to develop within a forward-thinking, process-driven finance environment.
  • Hybrid working arrangements for work-life balance.
