Litigation Legal Assistant

Complex Litigation | Senior Lawyer Support | Career 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 1:1 support to a senior litigation lawyer, 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 secretary with a background in litigation. You will suit this role if you are:

• An experienced legal support professional
• Comfortable supporting senior lawyers in a busy practice
• Experienced 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 steppingstone

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.

This is a long-term opportunity with a firm that values loyalty, discretion, accuracy and genuine support.
