Full Job Description

Company Description

We welcome fearless thinkers.

For over 100 years, Maurice Blackburn has stood up for those who need us most. With courage and compassion, we extend access to justice to countless Australians. We look beyond the immediate challenge to support people in moments that matter across their lives, and continually push for better solutions for our clients. We invest in and empower our people to stand up for what we believe in and go fearlessly forward together.

We work on real cases, achieving important and positive results in real people’s lives, which is why we are one of Australia’s most respected law firms. Maurice Blackburn, experience you can count on.

About the role and team

Our national Asbestos & Dust Diseases team is highly experienced in representing people affected by occupational diseases. The team combines deep technical expertise with genuine compassion, guiding clients and their families through every stage of their compensation journey and delivering exceptional outcomes with care and respect.

This team sits at a rare intersection of urgency and meaning. Our clients are often facing a terminal diagnosis, so we work with real speed and purpose to help them see justice done in their own lifetime. It is some of the most human legal work you’ll do – walking alongside people and their families through an incredibly difficult chapter, holding negligent employers and manufacturers accountable, and helping families find closure and financial security.

We are looking for an experienced Legal Assistant to join our Asbestos & Dust Diseases team in Brisbane on a permanent full-time basis.

You’ll play an important role in supporting our lawyers and ensuring our clients receive a seamless, compassionate and professional experience. You’ll be involved across the lifecycle of matters, providing both administrative and legal support in a technically complex and highly specialised area of personal injury law.

This is an opportunity to bring your existing legal support experience to a team where your contribution has a direct and tangible impact on our clients’ lives, while continuing to develop your skills alongside practitioners who are recognised leaders in this field.

What you will be doing

Provide high-quality administrative and legal support to lawyers within the Asbestos & Dust Diseases team.
Act as a key point of contact for clients and their families, providing clear, timely and compassionate communication throughout their matter.
Liaise with medical providers, experts and other stakeholders to progress client matters.
Support client files from commencement through to resolution, including maintaining accurate records and ensuring key actions are completed.
Prepare correspondence, legal documents, court materials and other matter-related documentation.
Coordinate medico-legal appointments and assist with obtaining medical, employment and other evidentiary records.
Manage diaries, appointments, critical dates and court timetables.
Assist with preparing matters for settlement conferences, mediations and court proceedings.
Organise and manage medical, liability and quantum documentation.
Process correspondence, billing and other matter-related administration.
Work collaboratively with lawyers and the broader team to ensure matters progress efficiently and clients receive an exceptional level of service.
Identify opportunities to improve processes and ways of working within the team.

About you

You’ll bring previous experience as a Legal Assistant, Legal Secretary or Paralegal, ideally gained within personal injury litigation, workers’ compensation, asbestos and dust diseases or another litigation environment.

You will also bring:

Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to confidently manage competing priorities and deadlines.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with clients, colleagues and external stakeholders.
A client-focused approach, with the empathy, sensitivity and professionalism required when supporting clients and families experiencing significant health challenges.
Strong attention to detail and confidence managing complex documentation and client files.
The ability to work with a degree of autonomy while contributing positively to a collaborative team environment.
A trustworthy and professional approach to handling confidential and sensitive client information.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and confidence using legal practice management systems and technology.
An interest in legal technology and AI tools, with enthusiasm for using technology to work effectively and improve the client experience.
A proactive mindset and willingness to identify better and more efficient ways of working.
A genuine commitment to access to justice and delivering outstanding client service.

Team MB benefits*:

Ongoing coaching and career development opportunities
22 Weeks Parental leave with your superannuation guaranteed and back-to-work transition policy
End of Year leave, 1 day first year, 4 days after 2 years
Comprehensive mental health framework, including wellbeing leave (up to 4 extra days per year) and $299 reimbursement
Discounted gym membership
A hybrid flex working model
Salary Continuance & Life Insurance
17.5% Annual Leave Loading

We offer you a safe, supportive and collaborative environment, backed by inclusive leaders and progressive people policies, where you can be your authentic self and thrive. Here we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture, enriched by differences in ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age and family arrangements. We love that you have a life outside of work and we’re happy to support yours. Applications from First Nations People are encouraged.

Are you ready to join us on a journey to extend access to justice to more Australians, in an organisation and role in which every action you take makes a difference? Apply now.
