I’m working with a global top-tier law firm on an opportunity for an experienced Legal Assistant to join their Corporate team in Sydney.

The role has become available as the current Legal Assistant, who has been with the team for several years, is moving into a graduate position. It’s a great opportunity to step into an established team and work closely with a senior Partner who values high-quality, proactive support.
The Partner is lovely to work with and has high standards due to the work they are doing, so they’re looking for someone who is highly proactive, articulate and confident.

One of the real highlights of this role is the client exposure. You’ll have regular interaction with clients and senior stakeholders, becoming a trusted point of contact and playing an important role in the overall client experience.
