The posting

Your role

You'll be a part of our Practice Support team and work with Partners and senior legal operatives in our Sydney office. We are recruiting for two fixed-term, full-time Practice Executive opportunities.

At Allens, excellence is not just expected—it’s embedded in everything we do. As a Practice Executive, you will be joining a high-performing team that partners directly with senior legal operatives and Partners to deliver proactive, strategic business support and play a key role in assisting to manage the financial aspects of their practice, including client reporting. This role demands precision, initiative, and a deep understanding of the commercial drivers of a top-tier legal practice. We’re looking for candidates who bring curiosity and a drive to explore what’s next. If you’re excited by emerging technologies—like AI—and keen to apply digital innovations to improve how we work and deliver results, you’ll thrive in this role.

As a Practice Executive, you will:

  • Assist senior operatives with practice and client management support including, but not limited to, financial support, diary management, expense management, document management and Learning Management System (LMS) administration.
  • Understand and manage administrative client requirements to ensure consistent client service delivery across matter teams.
  • Understand the commercial drivers of a legal practice, interpret data and apply client knowledge when supporting partners with practice management.
  • Manage all administrative duties associated with the financials of a matter including, but not limited to, billing, e-billing audits, tracking of non-dispatched bills, missing timesheets, cost estimates and reporting.
  • Work collaboratively with members within and outside of the Practice Support team to ensure a high quality of work and standards of services are delivered to all internal and external stakeholders.
  • Provide guidance to others and be a source of information on drafting, producing documents and practice management process and procedures.

These are fixed term, full-time opportunities. Our hybrid working arrangements require 60% of your time in the office. However, we understand that individual circumstances vary, and we're happy to discuss what flexibility might be possible while ensuring we meet the needs of the business

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
