We're Hiring!

Join Corrs Chambers Westgarth, Australia's leading independent law firm.

An opportunity has arisen to work with Michael Catchpoole (Partner) and a team of lawyers in Corrs’ Restructuring, Insolvency and Special Situations Team.

This position is suitable for an experienced legal assistant - or an intermediate level legal assistant looking to take the next step in their career.

This is an opportunity to work within a busy but exciting practice. We are looking for a talented legal assistant who can work in a fast paced high volume practice. You will need excellent diary/inbox management skills and good communication skills as internal and external relationship building is an important aspect of this role.  Project billing, reporting and high level matter management are vital components to the role as well as event organisation and travel booking components.  Experience in or knowledge of litigation and class action matters would be an asset but is not essential. 

At Corrs, we help you achieve your ambition - at every stage of your career.
