Are you an experienced Legal Secretary or Legal EA looking for a role where you can become a true right hand to a senior Partner?

This is an opportunity to join a well-established national law firm and work closely with a senior Partner who leads a busy and growing practice group.

• Providing high-level support to a senior Partner, including diary management, meetings, deadlines and competing priorities;

• Supporting the wider practice group with team coordination, workflow and day-to-day organisation;

• Managing client and stakeholder communication and building strong working relationships;

• Coordinating team events, meetings and other practice group initiatives; and

• Assisting with legal administration, billing, expenses and general practice management.

About you:

• Senior experience in a Legal Secretary, Legal EA, Practice Executive or similar role;

• Experience supporting a Partner or senior fee earner within a busy practice;

• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stay one step ahead;

• Mature, proactive and confident in taking ownership of your work;

• Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with senior stakeholders; and

• A team player who enjoys being the person others can rely on to keep things running smoothly.

What’s in it for you

• Be the trusted right hand to a senior Partner;

• Opportunity to mentor and support junior team members;

• Get involved across the wider practice group;

• Flexible working, including 1 day WFH; and

• Salary up to $110,000 package, depending on experience.
