• Supporting our legal team with everyday admin – scanning, filing, safe custody, document binding, and assisting with file opening, tidy-up, and closure [including write-offs].
• Assisting with internal and external marketing events [e.g. with referrers or clients], and helping organise huddles, team coffees, and client lunches
• Assisting Directors and lawyers with diary management, travel coordination, and meeting preparation.
• Ordering searches, managing incoming/outgoing mail, and jumping in to help across the legal team as needed.
• Preparing fee proposals and assisting with basic lodgements – including Titles, QRO, and ASIC-related tasks.
• Helping reconcile accounts using tools like Xero – including general account management, credit cards, and ASIC payments.
• Maintaining and organising the debtors list and sharing updates with external providers.
• Supporting electronic signing processes via DocuSign and assisting with onboarding tasks like ID collection and document prep.
• Keeping our digital and physical client files accurate, tidy, and accessible across systems like Actionstep and our internal platforms.

• Have a good eye for detail and can juggle competing priorities with ease.
• Are comfortable using Microsoft Office and happy to learn new systems.
• Have a friendly phone manner and strong communication skills.
• Are curious about legal processes and open to learning more.
• Have experience with lodgements or using ASIC/PEXA platforms [a bonus, not a must!].
