4 Exclusive Opportunities | Amazing Teams | Real Work-Life Balance

Let’s be honest…

Great Litigation Legal Assistants are the backbone of every successful disputes team.

You’re organised under pressure.

You keep matters moving.

You manage impossible deadlines without missing a beat.

You know how to juggle lawyers, clients, barristers, court documents and chaos - all before lunch.

And because good Litigation Legal Assistants are hard to find… the best firms know they need to look after them properly.

That’s exactly why I’m reaching out.

The Opportunity

I’m currently recruiting for 4 Litigation Legal Assistant roles with genuinely fantastic Melbourne CBD firms.

These aren’t environments where you’re expected to sit at your desk until 8pm every night “for the culture.”

These are firms where:

people enjoy coming to work

teams genuinely support one another

friendships are built

work-life balance actually exists

Legal Assistants are respected and valued

Think:

Netball teams

Tennis teams

Friday drinks

Team lunches

Collaborative Partners

Flexible environments

Low staff turnover

The type of firms people tend to stay at.

Current Litigation Opportunities;

Commercial Litigation Legal Assistant

High-profile disputes work

Support approachable, down-to-earth Partners

National firm with strong culture and flexibility

Insurance Litigation Legal Assistant

WorkCover / TAC / defendant insurance matters

Friendly and social team environment

Excellent systems and mentoring

Disputes and Investigations Legal Assistant

Complex and interesting matters

Prestigious CBD offices with hybrid flexibility

Collaborative and high-performing team

Boutique Litigation Legal Assistant

Smaller close-knit team with fantastic culture

Genuine work-life balance

A role where your contribution is truly valued

About You

To be considered, you will have:

Previous Litigation Legal Assistant experience

Strong organisational and file management skills

The ability to manage competing deadlines

A calm and proactive approach

A sense of humour helps too

Why Work With Me?

After more than 20 years in legal recruitment - and having worked in legal support myself - I understand how important the right team is.

I don’t just send resumes to firms.

I take the time to understand:

the personalities you work best with

the culture you want

what’s missing in your current role

and what will actually make you happy to come to work again

Sometimes it’s not about leaving law altogether.

Sometimes it’s just about finding the right people.
