With a team of over 190 professionals across 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

  • liaising with clients
  • covering office services including reception, rounds and kitchen duties for periods of absence (lunch breaks and leave)
  • general office administration.

Please note, law students are not encouraged to apply for the role unless they intend on pursuing a long term career in legal support (ie. not as a lawyer) and are available to work full time.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will have some legal secretarial or legal administrative experience with:

  • the ability to work within a team
  • 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.

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.
