About Gordon Legal

Gordon Legal was founded in Melbourne in 2009 by Peter Gordon, following a career spent advocating for ordinary people and workers and taking on powerful institutions. That commitment to fairness, access to justice and doing meaningful legal work remains central to the firm today. We’re also a firm that values ideas and initiative. People are encouraged to contribute, improve the way we work and bring their own experience to the team.

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Legal Assistant to join our Workers Compensation practice. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands personal injury legal support, enjoys taking ownership of their work and knows how important strong administration is to both lawyers and clients.

- Excellent organisation and ability to manage competing deadlines
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
- Confident, empathetic and professional client communication
- Proactive approach and ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively

These capabilities reflect the core requirements in Gordon Legal’s existing Workers Compensation support ad.

Culture

You’ll work with people who care about doing good work and getting good outcomes for clients. Gordon Legal has grown out of a long tradition of plaintiff and workers’ rights work.
