This is an opportunity to join a highly regarded specialist law firm where people enjoy coming to work.

Supporting a Senior Partner within a Wills & Estates practice, you'll become a valued member of a small, close-knit team that prides itself on delivering exceptional service to clients while maintaining a collaborative and supportive culture. This is the type of environment where everyone knows each other, everyone pitches in, and you'll have the opportunity to be involved across the broader practice rather than being confined to one desk.

If you're looking for a role where you can build strong relationships, take ownership of your work and be part of a team of genuinely good people, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing dedicated support to a Senior Partner while assisting the wider team as required;

• Managing diaries, appointments and client meetings;

• Preparing correspondence and legal documentation;

• Assisting with Wills, Powers of Attorney, Enduring Guardianships, Probate and Estate Administration matters;

• Liaising with clients, beneficiaries, accountants, financial advisers and other stakeholders;

• Opening and closing files and maintaining accurate records;

• Billing and general administrative support;

• Assisting with document management and matter coordination; and

• Providing general office support and contributing wherever required.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

• Previous experience as a Legal Secretary or Legal Assistant;

• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail;

• A professional and confident communication style;

• The ability to manage competing priorities and work autonomously;

• A proactive approach and willingness to get involved wherever needed;

• A team-first attitude;

• Strong client service skills and the ability to build rapport with a variety of people; and

• Experience in Wills & Estates will be highly regarded, although candidates from other areas of law are encouraged to apply.

Most importantly, you'll enjoy working as part of a smaller team where collaboration, personality and cultural fit are just as important as experience. This role would suit someone who likes building relationships, being involved in the day-to-day running of the practice and becoming a trusted member of the team.

What's on offer

• Support a highly experienced Senior Partner;

• Join a supportive and collaborative team;

• Varied role with exposure across the broader practice;

• Stable, long-term opportunity with a highly regarded firm;

• Salary up to $110,000 package; and

• Hybrid working with 1-2 days WFH.
