About the Role

You’ll be a key part of our settlements team, helping to finalise client matters with precision and care.

Provide reception relief including greeting clients and handling incoming calls when required.

Assist with office coordination and ad hoc support tasks to ensure the smooth running of the office.

What We’re Looking For

Prior experience as a legal assistant, paralegal, or in accounting/administration is essential.

Excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and the ability to manage competing priorities.

Clear and professional communication skills, with a proactive and team-focused attitude.

Confident using systems and managing data – we’ll provide training on our specific tools.

What We Offer

Full training in settlement-specific processes and systems.

A brand new, modern office in the heart of Melbourne CBD.

Friendly, supportive team environment where your contribution is valued.

Access to career development pathways, regular social events, a hybrid work model (2 WFH days after qualifying), and your birthday off.
