Are you a versatile Legal Assistant who thrives on variety? This is your chance to join a leading mid-tier national law firm in Canberra as a Float Legal Assistant, supporting multiple practice groups across the firm.

No two days will look the same — you’ll step in where you’re needed most, working with a range of partners and teams across litigation, corporate, commercial, property, and more. It’s the perfect role if you enjoy adapting to new matters and working styles.

Your Day-to-Day Will Include:

• Providing seamless support across multiple practice groups
• Managing diaries, travel, and email for partners and lawyers
• Preparing, formatting, and reviewing legal documents and correspondence
• Opening and closing matters, managing confidential records
• Coordinating billing and assisting with monthly reporting
• Acting as a trusted point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Variety and exposure — work across a wide range of practice areas and lawyers
• Build firmwide relationships and become the go-to support professional
• Competitive salary + benefits with genuine career progression opportunities

About You:

• 2+ years’ experience as a Legal Assistant (multi-practice experience highly regarded)
• Organised, adaptable, and able to manage competing deadlines with ease
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Professional, proactive, and able to build strong relationships quickly
• Confident with billing systems and document management software (advantageous)

Enjoy a supportive team culture, competitive salary, and exposure to complex, meaningful matters that make a real impact.
