Receptionist/Administration Assistant (Sydney)

Cowell Clarke is a fast growing specialist commercial law firm based in Australia. With a team of over 185 professionals in offices in Adelaide and Sydney, we represent clients across various industries both nationally and internationally. Our firm takes pride in fostering a positive culture that empowers our employees to excel.

Founded over 30 years ago, we set out to disrupt the traditional reactive approach of commercial law firms by offering exceptional personal service with a proactive, global perspective. Although we have expanded to build a national presence, our commitment to helping clients seize opportunities and manage risks remains unchanged.

About the role We’ve experienced significant growth in our Sydney office in the past 18 months and we’re now looking for a Receptionist/Admin Assistant to join us. A key part of this role is being the first point of contact for our clients and visitors, ensuring a professional and welcoming front-of-house experience.

Alongside reception duties, and with the support of our Office Services Manager and Head of Business Operations, you’ll provide general administrative support to the office and assist our Legal Secretaries when needed. Day-to-day, this will include:

Greeting clients and visitors, answering phones and managing meeting room bookings

Keeping the reception, kitchen and common areas tidy and well-presented

Coordinating mail, couriers and deliveries

Providing admin support such as scanning, filing, formatting documents and preparing correspondence

Assisting Legal Secretaries with overflow work during busy times

Supporting office events and celebrations and helping with general office errands

This role offers a strong administrator the opportunity to build a long-term career, with potential to progress into Legal Secretarial or broader Business Operations roles as opportunities arise.

About you To thrive in this role, you’ll be an experienced Receptionist or Office Administrator, ideally in a professional services environment. In addition, you will be/have:

Excellent communication skills and a friendly, professional manner

Strong organisational skills, a proactive mindset and the ability to juggle competing priorities

Good attention to detail and a proactive, can-do attitude

A fast learner of systems, confident using Microsoft Office; experience with document management systems (like NetDocuments) would be a bonus

What will we offer you?

Cowell Clarke offers a broad range of financial and social benefits in addition to market leading careers and professional development programs. We’re focused on developing our people’s careers whilst ensuring they maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Some of our many employee benefits include broad learning & development opportunities, social clubs, sporting & team events, wellbeing and family support, e.g. discounts to gym memberships & private health insurance, paid parental leave and the option to purchase additional leave.
