K&L Gates delivers legal services on an integrated and global basis, with more than 2,000 lawyers located in 48 cities across five continents. We are located in key capital cities and world commercial and financial centres. This has enabled us to create a worldwide network of lawyers to serve clients’ growing international needs and brings with it the need for a strong support team to assist with delivery of quality results.
We currently have an opportunity for a Legal Secretary to join our Corporate & Transactional group in the Melbourne office. This role is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys maintaining the day to day general administration of a legal practice including processing bills, handling account queries, attending to high volume filing and formatting large documents.
