We're recruiting for a Legal Assistant to join a national Public Law team in Sydney CBD. This is a newly created role due to growth within the team, working on high-volume litigation. Our client is a national mid-tier law firm that has been growing rapidly, and it's a great place to gain exposure to a wide range of practice groups and lawyers.

How the team works

This practice runs on a hub model. You'll be part of a group of Legal Assistants working together, sharing the load, covering for each other, and keeping a high-volume litigation practice running smoothly. If you like the energy of a team environment over a solo support role, this is worth a look.

What you'd be doing

• Monitoring multiple shared inboxes;

• Opening and closing files;

• Fielding phone calls and matter enquiries;

• Scheduling appointments, court events and diary management;

• Filing and serving documents; and

• General administrative support across the team.

Who we're after

This role would suit someone earlier in their career:

• At least 1 year of admin experience within a law firm;

• A genuine interest in litigation;

• A client-focused, professional approach;

• Strong organisational and communication skills;

• The ability to juggle competing deadlines without dropping the ball;

• Confidence using Microsoft Office; and

• Comfortable working as part of a team rather than in a silo.

What's on offer

• Hybrid working with 1-day WFH;

• Salary package up to $95,000 dependent on experience;

• Discounted health insurance, gym and studio discounts across Australia; and

• An Employee Assistance Program and a strong focus on well-being.
