Melbourne, Australia Pinsent Masons Full time

**About the opportunity**

We are seeking an experienced, proactive and motivated legal assistant to support two Partners and approximately seven Lawyers (including Senior Lawyers) in our Finance & Projects group based in our Melbourne office. This is an exciting opportunity to work for an impressive and highly-regarded firm, in a fast-paced and high energy role that is full of variety.

This role needs an individual with a mix of legal secretarial and PA capability, along with sophisticated personal assistant support. We are looking for someone who loves taking initiative and action tasks with limited need for direction.

You will be part of a friendly and collaborative team of Legal PA’s, with many opportunities to get involved in firm wide initiatives across a range of areas including health and wellness, diversity and inclusion, and social.

**Key areas of focus**
- Deliver excellent service to the firm's clients by building and maintaining effective relationships, developing knowledge of team clients and their business, and organising client dinners and events
- Supporting business development and marketing activities
- Assist with client billing through the firm's Aderant billing system, complete cheque requisitions, process third party invoices, trust money, and BACS authorisations
- Prior experience in a legal support role
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint, with experience using expense management, and billing software
- A confident communicator with the ability to engage with varied client and stakeholder audiences
- Good written communication skills with strong attention to detail
- Proactive and comfortable taking initiative when faced with new challenges
- Strong organisational skills and ability to handle multiple priorities
- Demonstrate a high level of discretion and confidentiality at all times
- Be an effective team player and have strong interpersonal skills including confidence, positivity and the ability to gain credibility
- Bring energy and passion to the role

**Why join Pinsent Masons?**

**We have a global reach and a local feel **. With 28 offices and 1500 lawyers operating across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, you'll be exposed to domestic, international and multi-jurisdictional high-profile work, yet be in an office where everyone knows your name.

**We do things a bit differently **. Legal services are at the core of our business, however we have diversified into other areas providing complimentary services to clients through offerings like Vario flexible services.

**We like to be flexible. **Our firm is professional but also relaxed, you can dress for your day and in your own style. We also promote practices that support wellbeing, mental wellness and work/life balance so that everyone can thrive at work and at home.

**We're lots of fun and very inclusive **. Proud of our leading reputation for diversity and inclusion, we have created an open environment where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. You'll also have plenty of opportunities to participate in, and even run, social activities, diversity and inclusion networks, and charitable initiatives.
