The Opportunity
At Shine, we champion better justice for our clients and as a full-time, Client Intake Law Clerk on a 12-month fixed term contract in our Public Liability team based in the Melbourne office, that starts with you. You’ll work closely with our legal team to make a meaningful, long-lasting impact for our clients.
We will consider someone on a part-time basis (minimum 4 days per week) for the right candidate.
Want a job that provides real career progression to kick start or further advance your legal career? You'll be part of a truly connected team of authentic people who are as passionate as you are. And you’ll be visible and valued for who you are and what you bring.
With empathy, adaptability and initiative, you will be a true champion of our clients by:
- Hearing new client stories to understand their circumstances that have brought them to us.
- Assisting the Legal Practice Manager with managing the growth of the Shine Public Liability practice.
- Focusing on the best practice intake for people enquiring with the team. This will involve taking telephone transfers from our New Client Intake Team after the pre-screening of a caller.
- Providing new client callers with a brief introduction to the law of public liability and obtaining relevant information by using legal knowledge and expertise and/or documentation.
- Assessing and establishing if there are initial prospects of success, and if so, transferring the caller to a lawyer for a further discussion.
- Liaising with the New Client Team and administrative staff to obtain evidence from the new client, as well as assisting with new enquiry workflows and systems.
- Previous experience as a Paralegal or Law Clerk in public liability or personal injury is preferable, but not required.
- Previous studies in the legal field is preferable, but not required.
- A strong understanding of, and ability to interpret the relevant legislation and legal documentation.
- An innate ability to question, challenge the status quo and always stay ahead of the pack.
- You’ll be a great communicator both verbally and in writing.
- A commitment to truly connect with those around you and work together to deliver exceptional results for our clients.
- The passion, motivation and enthusiasm to contribute to our culture and ensure it’s a place where everyone can thrive.
- The ability to work 38 hours per week, between the hours of 8:15am – 5pm Monday to Friday.
At Shine, purpose really matters.
- It’s our clients, who summon the courage to stand up to injustice.
- It’s the communities we are part of and support every day.
- It’s our team, who champion what’s right and make this place what it is.

- Connect and be you: Get the benefits you need, and work with truly authentic people. And you can enjoy the security of a large, well-established firm that treats you as a person, not a number.
