Practice Operations Manager | Boutique Sydney CBD Law Firm

Play a pivotal role in the growth of a highly regarded boutique legal practice.

My client, Gavin Parsons & Associates is a respected boutique law firm located in the heart of Sydney's CBD. They provide practical, commercially focused legal advice across commercial and business law, dispute resolution, litigation, employment law, insolvency and bankruptcy.

They are a close-knit team with ambitious plans for continued growth and are looking for a Practice Manager who enjoys building systems, supporting people and helping a business reach its next stage of success.

Working closely with the Managing Director, you will become a trusted business partner responsible for the smooth day-to-day operation of the practice. This is a hands-on role offering genuine variety, autonomy and the opportunity to make a real impact on the future of the firm.

About the Role

No two days are the same. You will oversee the operational, financial and administrative functions of the practice while ensuring exceptional service is delivered to both clients and staff.

The practice currently operates on Practice Evolve, with an anticipated transition to LEAP within the next 6–9 months. Experience with either platform would be highly regarded, with LEAP experience considered an advantage as the firm continues to evolve its systems.

Your responsibilities will include

- Overseeing the day-to-day operations of the practice
- Managing billing, debtor management and financial administration
- Trust accounting and compliance with NSW Law Society requirements
- Payroll, leave administration and employee records
- Recruitment, onboarding and staff administration
- Supplier, facilities and office management
- Coordinating IT, systems and practice management software




- Supporting the Managing Director with operational and strategic initiatives
- Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes and efficiencies

About You

You are an organised, proactive and commercially minded qualified who enjoys taking ownership and making things happen.

You will ideally bring

- Experience as a Practice Manager, Office Manager or Operations Manager within a legal or professional services environment
- Sound understanding of practice management (ideally legal) and trust accounting (or the ability to quickly acquire this knowledge)
- Experience managing finance, payroll and office administration
- Good people management skills
- Excellent organisational and time management abilities
- Confidence managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
- High levels of integrity, discretion and professionalism
- A proactive mindset with a passion for continuous improvement
- Exceptional attention to detail

Why Join?

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the variety and autonomy that comes with working in a boutique practice.

Rather than managing a large corporate office, you'll become an integral part of a growing firm where your contribution is visible, valued and genuinely influences the success of the business.

In return, we offer:

- A role working directly with the Managing Director
- Genuine autonomy and variety
- A collaborative and supportive team culture
- Modern Sydney CBD offices
- The opportunity to help shape the future growth of the practice
- A competitive salary package commensurate with your experience
