About you

To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced legal support professional with:

  • an exceptional work ethic
  • initiative, flexibility and positive attitude
  • high attention to detail and excellent organisational skills
  • superior communication skills
  • familiarity with legal practice software, including NetDocs and Affinity (helpful, not essential)

What will we offer you?

Our close-knit legal support team is built on collaboration and mutual support. At Cowell Clarke, working together is at the core of everything we do. Across our Sydney and Adelaide offices, you'll find a team ready to back you up every step of the way.

In addition, 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.
