If you’re an organised, proactive professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in delivering high-quality support, you’ll find plenty of variety, responsibility and career stability in this role. You’ll be joining a collaborative team with strong systems, experienced colleagues and a genuine commitment to professional development and teamwork.
The Role
As Legal Secretary, you’ll be a trusted support partner to lawyers and the broader practice group,
ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of legal and administrative processes. This is a diverse role that combines legal document preparation, client service, billing support and practice administration.
Key responsibilities include:
- Drafting, formatting and amending legal documents, correspondence, affidavits, briefs and client communications.
- Managing document production through digital dictation and transcription.

- Opening new matters, conducting conflict checks and ensuring compliance with firm processes.
- Building strong relationships with clients, barristers, lawyers, partners and other stakeholders through professional and timely communication.
- Managing incoming calls, handling enquiries and directing matters appropriately.
- Preparing invoices, assisting with billing processes and responding to client billing queries.
- Supporting monthly, quarterly and ad hoc reporting requirements for the practice group.
- Generating client correspondence, engagement documentation and audit-related communications.
- Conducting file reviews and audits to ensure compliance and accuracy of records.
- Monitoring emails and correspondence, ensuring matters are actioned efficiently and deadlines are met.
- Assisting with general practice administration and providing support across the team on various projects and ad hoc tasks.
About You
- Previous experience in a Legal Secretary, Legal Assistant, Personal Assistant or similar professional services support role (ideally 2+ years).
- Exceptional organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to build effective relationships at all levels.
- A proactive and adaptable approach, with the ability to anticipate needs and take initiative.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to contribute wherever needed.
- The ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team environment.
- Proficiency across Microsoft Office applications and confidence learning new systems.
- Experience with NetDocuments, Practice Evolve or similar legal practice management systems will be highly regarded but is not essential.
