This is not just another Legal Assistant role. This is an opportunity to step up, take ownership and help build something from the ground up.
A highly regarded, people-first boutique law firm with a strong and established presence in Perth is expanding and opening a brand-new office in Albany. As part of this growth, they are seeking an experienced Legal Assistant for a hybrid Office Manager / Legal Assistant role, offering broader responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to shape the operations of a new office.
About the Firm
This firm is known for its standout culture, down-to-earth approach, and genuine care for both its clients and its people. They believe great legal work starts with a supportive, respectful, and connected team. With a proven reputation in Perth, this expansion represents an exciting next chapter. You will be joining a firm that values trust, autonomy, and long-term relationships, not hierarchy or red tape. While the Albany office will be newly established, you will be fully supported by a well-resourced and experienced Perth team, ensuring you are never operating in isolation.
About the Role
This is a newly created growth role within the firm’s new Albany office. The scope of the role goes well beyond traditional support work. You will work closely with a solicitor on-site and take on a mix of Legal Assistant and Office Management responsibilities, making this an ideal opportunity for an experienced Legal Assistant looking for increased responsibility, ownership and career progression. You will be instrumental in shaping how the office operates day to day and will play a key role in the success of the new location.
Key Responsibilities
- Providing legal assistant support, including document preparation and file management
- Acting as the first point of contact for clients, both in person and via phone
- Managing the day-to-day operations of the Albany office
- Coordinating office administration, systems, and workflows
- Managing inboxes, correspondence, and general office requirements
- Supporting the solicitor to ensure the smooth running of the practice
This role will suit someone who:
- Has solid experience as a Legal Assistant and is ready for a step up
- Enjoys taking ownership and being relied upon
- Is confident, approachable, and naturally people-focused
- Thrives in a growing environment and enjoys building processes from scratch
- Values culture, teamwork, and long-term career development
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- A genuine step-up role for an experienced Legal Assistant
- Be part of launching a brand-new office
- Join an established firm with a strong reputation and supportive culture
- A varied role with ownership and long-term growth
- Relocation support available for Perth-based candidates
- An attractive salary package will be offered, dependent on experience and capability
