Support a highly respected Partner across Litigation, Family & Employment

Join a boutique firm with heart, strong values and a standout culture

ABOUT THE FIRM

This boutique firm is centrally located in the Melbourne CBD and close to public transport. Known for its professionalism, supportive workplace culture and personalised approach, the team works across Family Law, Business Law, Property and Litigation. This is a varied opportunity supporting a Litigation Partner three days per week, with the remaining two days supporting the Family and Employment teams. It would suit an experienced Legal Assistant who enjoys variety and is looking for a role where they can build strong relationships across a close-knit team.

• Drafting and formatting legal documents
• Preparing briefs and court documents
• Managing correspondence and file administration
