Join a close-knit, genuinely supportive team where collaboration, empathy, and quality work come first.

We’re working with a respected mid-sized law firm in Sydney CBD that’s looking for a Legal Assistant to join their team of three. This is a rare opportunity in a firm known for its stability and long tenures.

Why you’ll love working here:

• A people-first culture - empathetic lawyers, no hierarchy, and leaders who pitch in;
• Professional but relaxed environment - corporate-quality work with a human touch;
• Weekly morning teas and monthly firm catch-ups to share best practice;
• Flexible working - 4 days in office, 1 from home after probation; and
• Competitive salary dependent on experience.

The role

You’ll work as part of a team supporting around 5-6 solicitors, helping keep matters running smoothly across practice management, document preparation, and client coordination.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing and managing legal documents, briefs, and transcriptions;
• Supporting the team with practice management and matter tracking;
• Assisting with billing;
• Managing the joint team inbox and occasional reception overflow;
• Helping maintain an organised, mostly paperless system; and
• Support process improvements to enhance firm efficiency.

You’ll be working alongside experienced Legal Assistants and team leaders who collaborate closely and share the workload.

About you

• A strong team player who enjoys working collaboratively;
• Tech-savvy and proactive, with a “can-do” attitude;
• Organised and comfortable managing competing priorities; and
• Previous experience as a Legal Assistant (or similar role).

You’ll be joining a firm that truly supports its people, one that believes in doing good work, treating people well, and creating a simple, high-quality environment.
