Are you a Legal Secretary who thrives when you’re trusted to take charge and keep everything on track?

We are partnered with a leading international Law Firm based in stunning Sydney CBD offices (Harbour views and an on-site barista!) is looking for a proactive and highly organised Legal Secretary to support a leading Partner in the Employment team.

You’ll step into a busy and fast-moving practice where your love of billing, structure, and proactive communication will be your biggest assets.

About the role:

Supporting a Partner who is widely respected for his expertise (and genuinely lovely nature!), you’ll be the steady hand behind a bustling practice. Billing will form a large part of your role, approximately 80% – so a genuine passion for keeping ledgers, WIP, and client accounts in order is essential.

Employment matters are often complex and long-running, with multiple files open at once. As the Partner isn’t across every file day-to-day, you’ll be the key person ensuring no detail is missed.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Proactively manage billing cycles, WIP, and client accounts across over 100 active matters
  • Schedule and lead brief daily check-ins with the Partner to stay across billings and priorities
  • Build strong working relationships with Associates and the broader team to gather updates and ensure seamless billing processes
  • Email and diary management for the Partner
  • Assist with preparing correspondence, client documents, and court briefs
  • Manage matter openings, administration, and team expenses

About you:

You are someone who doesn’t wait to be asked – you seek out information, stay two steps ahead, and feel real satisfaction ticking things off the list. You enjoy working in a structured environment where you can set the pace and rhythm, especially around billing and financials.

Ideally, you will have 5+ years’ experience as a Legal Secretary (employment, litigation or commercial law experience highly regarded) and be confident managing complex billing cycles with minimal supervision.

In return:

You’ll be working within a genuinely supportive environment where your organisation skills will be truly appreciated.

Flexible working options are available, along with excellent benefits such as 26 weeks paid maternity leave and opportunities for career growth within a top-tier global firm.
