Not every Legal Assistant role gives you the opportunity to work on matters that make headlines.

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Legal Assistant to join a highly regarded litigation team in Sydney, supporting the Head of Practice and wider team across some of Australia's most complex and high-profile disputes.

• Assisting with electronic court filings and litigation support;

• Billing, pre-bills and expense management;

• Liaising with clients, counsel, courts and internal stakeholders; and

• Supporting large-scale litigation matters across competing deadlines.

What they're looking for:

• Previous experience in a commercial law firm environment;

• Exposure to litigation or disputes work;

• Strong organisational and time management skills;

• A proactive approach with the ability to back yourself;

• High attention to detail, this matters here; and

• Confidence juggling competing priorities without dropping the ball.

Why this one stands out:

• Up to $105,000 package, depending on experience;

• 5 weeks annual leave;

• 26 weeks paid parental leave;
