Legal Assistant

Turtons is a boutique commercial law firm in Sydney's CBD with a strong focus on the technology and construction sectors.

We're looking for an enthusiastic hands-on legal assistant with at least two years’ experience (part time or full time) working in a law firm to join our team.

The successful candidate will:

take initiative;
have a strong work ethic and a keen eye for detail;
be extremely organised;
have advanced computer skills (MS Word, Excel and formatting); and
have excellent communication skills.

The role will provide a broad range of support to the firm's lawyers, and you will play an important part in our growth. Much of the role will involve traditional administrative support, but there is more, including:

General office administrative and housekeeping – all the usual things, such as answering telephones, diary management, dealing with the mail, organising office supplies, maintaining our facilities and liaising with clients and suppliers.
Providing documentation support for our lawyers– meaning that you can't be afraid to learn new systems and skills.
General File Management – opening and closing client matter files, accurate filing, archiving, updating our client and accounting database and preparing and issuing invoices.
Project Support – supporting marketing campaigns, event organisation and other internal projects as they come up from time to time.

As a boutique firm, we offer a number of things that bigger firms can't. A collegiate environment and benefit from direct hands-on training. The opportunity to work side by side with the firm's principals who will have a genuine interest in your professional growth. The firm actively encourages a healthy work life balance. You will have the opportunity to become involved and make a real difference.

We also offer things that most other small firms don't. A 100+year history and a reputation for exceptionally high standard of work. An inclusive, transparent culture. Systems and an IT infrastructure developed over many years. A new, light filled open plan office near Circular Quay.

If you are looking for a challenging role within a friendly and supportive working environment, we would strongly encourage you to apply now. We would love to hear from you.

The role is a 12 month maternity contract. Applicants should be English speaking Australian residents or have an appropriate visa to work in this country. Please no recruitment consultants.
