Thanks for reading more about this role!

Why this Role is Special

This role was created for law students seeking experience in a law firm - wanting to know what it’s like to work in a law firm; interact with lawyers and experience the law.

In particular:

(a) the role is a good entry pathway to becoming a paralegal. Our previous admin assistants have progressed to become our skilled paralegals;

(b) first and second year law students are encouraged to apply - many of our team members were first or second year students;

(c) we provide comprehensive training for the role - new team members are always pleasantly surprised with the quality and detail of the training;

(d) the role is part-time - you can choose to work two or three days a week, and reduce to one day a week during exams; and

(e) we are seeking up to two entry level legal admin assistants.

What’s Involved?

Your daily tasks include writing receipts, checking notices in e-newspapers, sending reminder emails, scanning documents, and keeping the office tidy.

Don’t worry, we’ll teach you how! We provide comprehensive training and support, so that you can learn, improve and excel in this role. No prior experience is required; we'll train you.

This is an entry role and suitable for persons with little or no experience in administration.

Availability & Commencement

Two or three days a week (you decide when we make the job offer), with the ability to reduce it to one day during exams.

Start immediately or in a few weeks. The actual date will be agreed with the successful candidate.

About Us

We are a Wills and Estates Law Firm. We help people navigate the legal complexities around estate planning and estate administration.

We have been recognised by our peers in the Best Lawyers publication. Our firm has also been named in the Doyle's Guide as a Leading Law Firm for six consecutive years.

Part of that recognition is due to our belief in custom solutions for our clients and ourselves; so much so that we wrote our own software which powers our practice.

While each of our directors has been in practice for 19-plus years, we still believe there’s plenty to learn and heaps of room to improve. We push ourselves so that we are always striving to be better than what we were yesterday.

For fun, we created this little behind-the-scenes clip on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SmLtgywUMJw

Oh! And we like movies, tv shows and board games.

Eligibility & Ideals

Our two requirements for this role is that you have:

1. a typing speed of at least 58 words per minute; and

2. an appropriate Australian work visa or be an Australian citizen.

Ideally, you are or will be soon, a first or second year law student.

How to Apply

Step 1. Prepare the following as separate PDF documents, your:

(a) CV;

(b) cover letter; and

(c) academic transcript.

Please do not supply Word documents.

For your academic transcript, if you have completed at least three university subjects, provide your university transcript. If you have not completed three university subjects, provide your high school transcript (Queensland students, that's your Senior Statement from QCAA)

If you’re having difficulties accessing your transcripts, we will accept unofficial transcripts for applications. Official transcripts required on hire.

Step 2. Attach the three documents into an email.

Step 3. Send the email to [email protected]. If this ad has been re-posted on another website, the email will not appear - visit our website for details instead.

Mr Shen Chow, will be reviewing your application.
