Insurance Defence Legal Assistant

The best legal support is often found in the details; the well-managed calendar, the document filed on time, the deadline anticipated before it becomes urgent, and the day that runs exactly as it should. Our Client is looking for a Legal Assistant with at least 3 years of relevant legal assistant experience who understands the importance of these details and takes pride in being a trusted part of a litigation team. As this firm continues to grow, you’ll become part of an evolving practice where your judgment, reliability, and ability to stay one step ahead are genuinely appreciated. Alongside interesting work and a collaborative team, you’ll enjoy beautiful offices in a wonderful area, a competitive salary, great benefits, and a hybrid work arrangement after your first six weeks. We’re looking for someone who brings professionalism to their work, takes ownership of their responsibilities, and wants to be part of a firm with a bright future. If this sound like you, then we want to hear from you.
