This role is as much about the people you work with as the work itself.

We’re partnering with a respected mid-sized employment law firm in Sydney CBD that is known for being supportive and steady. The legal support team works closely together, guided by experienced leaders, and everyone contributes to keeping matters on track.

The environment

The firm combines professionalism with approachability, with a flat structure and hands-on leadership. Respect, empathy, and teamwork are central, and the team supports a mix of corporate and individual clients.

The Chairman is admired for his kindness and commitment to giving back, reflecting the firm’s values. Regular morning teas and monthly firm-wide catch-ups help the team connect and take pride in the work they deliver.

The role

You’ll be supporting a group of 5-6 solicitors as part of a close-knit team of legal assistants. It’s a varied role with a mix of traditional secretarial support and involvement in practice management.

Key responsibilities

• Preparing and managing legal documents, briefs, and correspondence;

• Handling transcriptions, including periods of high volume;

• Assisting with billing and supporting practice management tasks;

• Keeping on top of matters to ensure deadlines are met; and

• Managing a shared inbox and coordinating team workflow.

About you

You enjoy working as part of a team, take pride in your work, and are happy to be hands-on in a busy environment.

What we’re looking for

• Previous experience as a Legal Assistant or in a similar role;

• Experience preparing briefs and handling transcriptions;

• Strong organisation skills and attention to detail;

• Ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines;

• A team-focused approach and willingness to support others; and

• Professional, adaptable, and comfortable in a collaborative setting.

Why this role stands out

What makes this opportunity different is the consistency of the environment. People stay because they feel supported, the expectations are clear, and the team works well together.

If you’re looking for a role where you can settle in, be part of a long-standing team, and contribute to a firm that values people as much as performance, this could be the role for you!
