Pullos Lawyers is seeking an experienced Legal Secretary to join our close-knit family law team.
We are looking for a Legal Secretary who takes pride in their work, values being an important part of a team and is interested in building a rewarding, long-term career within one firm.
You will work closely with highly experienced family lawyers on complex and often significant matters. The work is varied and engaging with the opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the lives of our clients, as well as develop your skills and take on greater responsibility as your experience grows.
About us
Pullos Lawyers is a leading boutique family law firm with offices on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane.
For more than 20 years, our firm has helped clients navigate some of the most complex and consequential periods of their lives. Our work includes complex property settlements, parenting matters, financial agreements, international and cross-border disputes, domestic violence matters and alternative dispute resolution.
We are known for combining technical excellence and a deeply strategic approach with empathy, integrity and practical support for our clients.
Our team is close, experienced and collaborative. Legal support professionals are valued contributors to the practice and play an important role in both the client experience and the successful conduct of each matter.
The Role
Working alongside our lawyers and broader support team, your responsibilities will include:
Managing diaries, appointments, deadlines and matter priorities;
Preparing, formatting and filing correspondence, court documents and briefs;




Opening and maintaining electronic files and ensuring records are complete and accurate;
Liaising professionally and sensitively with clients, barristers, experts, courts and other external parties;
Assisting with preparation for conferences, mediations and court events;
Managing incoming communications and helping matters progress efficiently;
Assisting with billing and general matter administration; and
Providing proactive day-to-day support to the lawyers and team.
The precise scope of the role will reflect your existing experience and the areas in which you would like to develop.
About you
Previous experience working as a Legal Secretary or in a comparable legal support role is essential.
Family law experience would be highly regarded, but it is not essential. If you are coming from another area of law, we would like to understand what interests you about family law and why you would find the work personally engaging. We want every member of our team to find genuine interest and fulfilment in the work they do.
What we are looking for:
Strong organisation and attention to detail;
The ability to manage competing priorities calmly and reliably;




Clear and professional written and verbal communication;
Sound judgement, discretion and respect for confidentiality;
Confidence dealing with clients experiencing sensitive or difficult circumstances;
A proactive, collaborative approach;
Competence with Microsoft Office and legal practice-management systems; and
A willingness to learn, contribute and become an integral part of the team.
What we offer
Exposure to complex, high-quality family law matters;
The opportunity to work closely with and learn from an experienced specialist team;
Genuine career development and support to expand your skills;
A stable role with scope to build a long-term career within the firm;
Flexibility around start and finish times;
Work-from-home arrangements where needed and appropriate to the role;
Weekly catered morning tea and end-of-week drinks;
Regular whole-team social events; and
A professional environment in which good work is recognised and people enjoy spending time together.
We take our work seriously, but we also believe a strong team should enjoy being one. Our team events range from weekly catered morning teas and end of week drinks to larger celebrations; one memorable Christmas party saw the entire firm spend a weekend together in Queenstown.
All applications will be treated confidentially.
We welcome applications from experienced Legal Secretaries with family law backgrounds, as well as strong candidates from other practice areas who have a genuine interest in moving into family law.
