  • A collaborative, professional, and client-focused environment where your contribution is valued
  • Work alongside respected practitioners in a team that supports growth and celebrates success

What you’ll bring:

  • Excellent communication, time management, and organisational skills
  • High attention to detail and a proactive, professional approach
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and legal practice management systems
