Part-Time Family Law Legal Assistant | 4 Days Per Week

Family Law experience + a four-day week + a great team? Let’s talk.

I’m recruiting for a well-established Melbourne law firm seeking an experienced Legal Assistant to join a highly regarded Family Law team three to four days per week.

You’ll be supporting a Partner, Senior Associate and Associate, working across a busy and interesting Family Law practice.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Legal Assistant who enjoys being part of a team, likes variety in their day and wants the stability of a well-
established firm without giving up the benefits of a four-day working week.

Your day may include:

• Supporting senior lawyers across the team
• Managing diaries, appointments and competing priorities
• Preparing correspondence and legal documentation
• File and matter management
• Liaising with clients and external stakeholders
• Assisting with court and hearing preparation
• Managing deadlines and keeping matters progressing
• General administrative support across the Family Law practice

WHO ARE YOU?
You must have previous Family Law Legal Assistant experience and be confident working in a busy legal environment.

You’ll be:

• Highly organised and proactive
• Comfortable managing competing priorities
• Professional and confident dealing with clients
• Detail-focused with excellent communication skills
• A genuine team player who enjoys supporting multiple fee earners

WHY THIS ROLE?
Four days per week. A fantastic team. Quality Family Law work. Great location.

You’ll be joining a team where you can genuinely contribute, work alongside experienced practitioners and become an important part of the practice.

Immediate start available.

If you’re an experienced Family Law Legal Assistant looking for a quality part-time opportunity, I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s have a confidential chat.
