I’m partnering with a well-established national law firm on a Legal Assistant role within their Risks team in Sydney. This position would suit someone at a junior to intermediate level who’s looking to take the next step and continue building their skills in a strong team.

This is a newly created role, offering a great opportunity to step into a position where you can add value and grow over time. The team is known for being approachable and supportive, with a culture that’s collaborative and respectful. There’s also a flexible, hybrid working model in place with 2 days WFH.

The Role

You’ll be supporting a Principal Lawyer and a team of lawyers in a busy practice area, working across a range of matters. It’s a fast-moving environment with a steady workflow and a good mix of responsibilities.

Day-to-day, this will involve:

• Providing administrative and file management support;

• Assisting with billing;

• Liaising with clients, courts and internal teams;

• Opening new matters and running conflict checks;

• Drafting and formatting legal documents and correspondence; and

• Supporting reporting and general team requirements.

About You

You’ll have previous experience in a legal support role and be comfortable managing competing priorities. Exposure to insurance work is helpful but not essential.

You’ll likely:

• Be organised with strong attention to detail;

• Take ownership of your work and support those around you;

• Bring a positive, proactive approach;

• Communicate clearly and manage your time well; and

• Be motivated to learn and develop.

Why this role?

• Newly created role with scope to grow;

• Friendly, inclusive team environment;

• Hybrid working with 2 days WFH;

• Ongoing learning and development opportunities; and

• A firm that invests in its people.
