About the team

This Employment practice has built a genuine reputation in the market for its collaborative, down-to-earth culture, something candidates consistently comment on after meeting the partners. The team is fast-paced, a natural reflection of the pace of employment work, but balanced by partners who are approachable, quick to laugh and genuinely invested in their support staff.

You will primarily support two Partners along with three lawyers within the broader team, and will work closely alongside the team's other Legal Assistants.

The role

This is a varied, end-to-end Legal Assistant role within a genuinely busy and rewarding practice group. Day to day, you will:

- Manage diaries, inboxes, travel and competing priorities across multiple fee earners
- Coordinate client and matter administration, including onboarding, conflict checks and engagement documentation
- Manage billing and invoicing, ensuring accuracy and timely turnaround
- Prepare correspondence, legal documents, presentations and other business-critical materials
- Coordinate document production, records management, filing and expenses
- Support junior team members through knowledge sharing and day-to-day collaboration

About you

You will be a Legal PA with 3 to 8 years' experience, ideally gained supporting a Partner and team within a busy law firm environment.



Aderant experience will be highly regarded, given the billing volume this role covers.

Beyond technical skill, this team places real weight on cultural fit. They are looking for someone with a genuine can-do attitude, who enjoys being part of a tight team and takes pride in contributing to its success, rather than working in isolation.

You will also bring

- Strong client and matter administration experience, including compliance processes
- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
- Advanced Microsoft Office skills
- Strong communication and stakeholder management, with a client-focused approach
- Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to quality
- Professionalism, discretion and sound judgement

What's on offer

- $105,000 package
- Hybrid working arrangement (increasing to one day from home following probation)
- A team-oriented, supportive team environment with genuine longevity among staff
- Exposure to high-quality employment law work at a national level
