Job Description
A leading national law firm, with a significant and expanding footprint across Australia, is offering a rare opportunity for an ambitious Personal Assistant to fast-track their career by supporting a highly regarded Partner within the firm's Energy, Corporate, and M&A; practice.
This is a genuine step up for the right candidate, offering a chance to work at the heart of one of the firm's most active and high-profile practice areas, within a business that is investing heavily in its people and its future.
About the Role
This is far more than a traditional support role.
Reporting directly to the Partner, you'll gain genuine exposure to the kind of work most PAs only read about, including 1:1 access to Board meetings and high-level governance activity, thanks to the Partner's position as a Board member.
You'll be immersed in the day-to-day of a genuinely significant Energy, Corporate and M&A; practice, learning directly from one of the firm's most senior and well-regarded Partners.
Beyond the calibre of work, this role offers something harder to find: a Partner who is genuinely invested in your growth.
Known for his patience and willingness to mentor, he's committed to developing the right person, not just delegating to them.
This is a firm and a Partner that want to invest in your long-term trajectory, not just fill a seat.
