HarperLloyd Recruitment is partnering with a well-established law firm to recruit a Legal Assistant to join their Personal Injury team in Adelaide CBD.

This is an excellent opportunity to work closely with two experienced legal practitioners, providing dedicated support across a varied and engaging Personal Injury practice.

This is much more than a traditional administrative support position. You will play an active role in the day-to-day management of matters, attend client meetings, liaise with clients and senior stakeholders, and assist with the preparation of court documentation and briefs.

The successful candidate will be someone who is polished, personable and confident in their communication, with the ability to build genuine relationships and exercise discretion when dealing with sensitive and confidential matters.

While previous Personal Injury experience is not essential, a strong legal secretarial background, sound judgement and a genuine willingness to learn are important.

The Role

You will provide dedicated legal and administrative support to two fee earners within the Personal Injury team, including:

- Providing comprehensive secretarial and administrative support to two legal practitioners.
- Managing diaries, calendars, meetings and appointments.
- Preparing legal correspondence, court documentation, briefs and other matter-related documents.
- End of month billing
- Actively assisting with the progression and day-to-day management of legal matters.
- Attending client meetings and providing support throughout the client engagement process.
- Liaising directly with clients, board members and other senior stakeholders.




- Building and maintaining strong client relationships through professional, empathetic and personable communication.

About You

- A minimum of two years' experience in a Legal Assistant, Legal Secretary or similar legal support position within a law firm.
- Strong secretarial and administrative experience, with the ability to provide high-level support to senior legal practitioners.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence communicating directly with clients and senior stakeholders.
- A polished and qualified presentation, with a warm, approachable and personable manner.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Previous Personal Injury experience is not essential. Our client is happy to provide training and develop the right person, provided they bring the necessary legal support experience, attitude and interpersonal skills.
