MJD Recruitment is partnering with an impressive Global law firm to secure their next Litigation Legal Secretary for their stunning Brisbane office.

Rather than sitting on the sidelines, you’ll become a key support within a busy Litigation team and have the opportunity to get involved in more hands-on legal work as you grow into the role.

With involvement in complex matters, strong mentorship and global exposure, this role offers a unique platform to develop your legal career.

Why This Role?
Perhaps you're someone studying law who wants to combine their studies with meaningful practical experience? This could be the perfect opportunity to do just that, supporting experienced fee earners while also gaining exposure to elements of paralegal work, giving you a valuable head start in your career. It’s a fast-paced environment where no two days look the same and where curiosity and initiative are encouraged.

The Responsibilities

• Managing diaries, meetings and team coordination
• Preparing legal documents, correspondence and court materials
• Supporting matter management and document organisation
• Assisting with billing, expenses and reporting processes
• Liaising with internal teams and external stakeholders
• Supporting lawyers across litigation matters as required

As your confidence grows, there will be opportunities to take on more substantive support work within the team.

About You
This role will suit someone who is able to commit to 4 or 5 days per week, and open to those who are early in their studies, eager to get involved in more.

Being super successful in this position means you'll already have experience in a legal support or administrative role, with strong attention to detail and impeccable organisational skills. Confidence with MS Office and other legal and billing systems such as Elite3e are a must. You'll also have a proactive and reliable approach to work but most importantly, you'll be motivated to learn and eager to build your legal career within a global firm environment.
