Litigation Legal Assistant
Job Description
LITIGATION LEGAL ASSISTANT | GOLD COAST
Complex Litigation | Senior Lawyer Support | Career Legal Support Role
The Opportunity:
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Litigation Legal Assistant to join a highly regarded boutique law firm in a central Gold Coast location.
Working closely with senior lawyers, you will provide high-level legal administrative support across a busy litigation practice. The work is complex, varied and suited to someone who enjoys being across the detail, managing deadlines and helping matters run smoothly.
This is a genuine long-term support role. It is not designed for a law student or someone looking for a pathway into a graduate position. The firm is looking for a career legal assistant or legal secretary who takes pride in their role, enjoys litigation and wants to become a trusted part of the team.
You will be joining a professional and well-regarded practice where your contribution will be noticed, valued and relied upon.
The Role
In this role, you will provide support to senior litigation lawyers, including:
- Diary and email management
- Preparing, formatting and proofreading correspondence, court documents and briefs
- Assisting with court filing, matter preparation and litigation support tasks
- Managing key dates, deadlines, court dates and internal follow-up
- Liaising with clients, counsel, courts and external parties
- Coordinating meetings and conferences
- Maintaining accurate electronic files and matter records
- Handling confidential information with discretion
- Providing broader administrative support to the litigation team as required
About You:
You will be an experienced legal assistant or legal secretary with a background in litigation or a similar legal support environment.
You will suit this role if you are:
- An experienced legal support professional
- Comfortable supporting senior lawyers in a busy practice
- Strong with document preparation, formatting and proofreading
- Organised and confident managing diaries, deadlines and competing priorities
- Professional in your communication with clients, counsel and external parties
- Detail-focused and accurate in your work
- Calm, reliable and proactive
- Looking for a long-term support role, not a short-term stepping stone
The firm does not need someone who wants to become a lawyer. They need someone who genuinely enjoys legal support and understands the value of a strong legal assistant in a litigation team.
Why This Role:
This role offers quality litigation work within a smaller, specialist environment.
You will be working directly with experienced senior lawyers on interesting and complex matters, while still enjoying the feel of a boutique team where people know each other and your work makes a visible difference.
For the right person, this is a long-term opportunity with a firm that values loyalty, discretion, accuracy and genuine support.
What’s On Offer
- Quality litigation work
- Direct support to senior lawyers
- Central Gold Coast location
- Full-time, permanent role
- Boutique team environment
- Long-term role for a career legal support professional
- A firm that will value your experience and contribution
