ABOUT COWELL CLARKE

Cowell Clarke is a fast growing specialist commercial law firm based in Australia. With a team of over 185 professionals in offices in Adelaide and Sydney, we represent clients across various industries both nationally and internationally. Our firm takes pride in fostering a positive culture that empowers our employees to excel.
Founded over 30 years ago, we set out to disrupt the traditional reactive approach of commercial law firms by offering exceptional personal service with a proactive, global perspective. Although we have expanded to build a national presence, our commitment to helping clients seize opportunities and manage risks remains unchanged.

We’ve experienced significant growth in our Sydney office in the past 18 months and we’re now looking for a Receptionist/Admin Assistant to join us. A key part of this role is being the first point of contact for our clients and visitors, ensuring a professional and welcoming front-of-house experience.
Alongside reception duties, and with the support of our Office Services Manager and Head of Business Operations, you’ll provide general administrative support to the office and assist our Legal Secretaries when needed. Day-to-day, this will include:
-
Greeting clients and visitors, answering phones and managing meeting room bookings
-
Keeping the reception, kitchen and common areas tidy and well-presented
-
Coordinating mail, couriers and deliveries
-
Providing admin support such as scanning, filing, formatting documents and preparing correspondence
-
Assisting Legal Secretaries with overflow work during busy times
-
Supporting office events and celebrations and helping with general office errands
This role offers a strong administrator the opportunity to build a long-term career, with potential to progress into Legal Secretarial or broader Business Operations roles as opportunities arise.
