What are we looking for?

Our National Abuse team is growing, and we are now seeking experienced legal assistants* to join our NSW practice.

- liaise with clients in an empathetic and professional manner
- all other administrative tasks

What will you bring?

If you are looking for a flexible work environment, a supportive and encouraging team, and an opportunity to grow your legal career, then look no further.

- Superior customer service skills
- Outstanding communication skills
- Organised and proactive approach
- Ability to confidently multi-task
- Ability to show initiative
- A willingness to learn
- A team player

Why work for us?

As a leading personal injury law firm every member of our Slater + Gordon team shares our passion for our clients, making their tomorrow start today. We work hard to simplify the legal process for our clients and provide support and guidance along the way.

In return, our people enjoy genuine work-life balance, with a hybrid work environment allowing them to split their time between home and the office. We recognise and reward high performance and have outstanding employee benefits including an extra week of annual leave, 18 weeks paid parental leave, extra-long service leave, and various learning and professional development opportunities.
