Job Description
There comes a point where being comfortable in a role isn't quite enough.
You know the systems, you know what needs to be done before you're asked, and the lawyers you support rely heavily on you.
But if the work has become repetitive, there's little room to develop, or you simply don't feel as valued as you should, this could be just the time to consider making that move you've been thinking about for a while.
We're recruiting an experienced Legal Secretary / Assistant to join one of Brisbane's leading law firms, supporting a variety of teams as the work requires.
If you enjoy variety, moving between different practice areas and thrive on change, this is worth a look!
This is an opportunity to work within a well-resourced, highly regarded firm where support staff are genuinely considered an important part of the team.
You'll work closely with experienced lawyers, have access to excellent systems and resources, and be trusted to take ownership of your role rather than simply wait for the next task to land on your desk.
The Role
If you enjoy being busy, organised and one step ahead, there's plenty here to keep you interested.
You'll provide high-level secretarial and administrative support to a team of lawyers and play an important part in keeping matters running smoothly from day to day and you will have experience in:
Preparing, formatting and amending legal documents and correspondence
Managing diaries, meetings, appointments and competing deadlines
Opening, maintaining and closing files
Liaising with clients, barristers and other external parties
Assisting with monthly billing and account administration
Coordinating meetings, travel and appointments
Managing workflow and keeping your lawyers organised




Providing broader administrative support across the team as required
About You

You'll suit this role if you:
Take pride in being someone your lawyers can genuinely rely on
Are organised and comfortable juggling competing priorities
Use initiative and can anticipate what needs to happen next
Build strong relationships with the people you work with
Produce polished, accurate work
Enjoy working as part of a collaborative team
Want to continue developing rather than remain stuck doing the same thing
Have a desire to create a long-term career as a legal support skilled
What's on Offer
You'll be joining a highly regarded firm that invests in its people and understands the value experienced legal support professionals bring to a team.
You'll have the opportunity to work alongside quality lawyers, broaden your experience and continue developing your skills in an environment where good work is recognised.
Benefits:
learning and development opportunities
health and wellbeing initiatives
gym and fitness discounts
study support
an active social culture
Most importantly, this is an opportunity to join a firm where you can settle in, become a valued part of the team and continue building your career over the long term.
If you've been thinking about making a change, this could be a very good reason to do it.
Please note that only candidates with the necessary experience will be contacted.
