The Opportunity
At Shine, we champion better justice for our clients. And as Law Clerk, on a 12-month contract - with possibility to extend - in our Class Actions team based in Darwin, that starts with you. You’ll work closely with our legal team to make a meaningful, long-lasting impact for our clients. Although this position is available full-time from the office, we are open to considering our successful candidate to work four (4) days per week.
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:
- Be involved in some of Australia's largest Class Actions proceedings and settlements.
- Interviewing our clients in-person on the outcome of the class action they're involved in.
- Supporting our Legal team with optimising the use of internal systems to process information.
- Preparing legal documentation with a high degree of detail, and managing group member communications, running a file load with a keen level of commercial and fiscal awareness.
- Cultivating strong relationships with our clients, Shine employees, Counsel and other external stakeholders.
- Working as one team using market-leading systems to effectively obtain maximum compensation for our deserving clients.
- Previous paralegal or equivalent experience is desirable.
- 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.
- You’ll be naturally empathetic and have a resolute passion for helping people who are experiencing distressing situations.
- 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.
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.
Here are some of the things we hope you’ll love about working with us:
- 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.
- Challenge and be challenged: We’re not here for “easy”. We want you to take your place at Shine and make a real impact. Question and challenge - that’s how we grow.
- Achieve and grow: Start your Shine journey with our in-house learning programs, where you’ll find immediate connection and be set up for success. You will be provided real opportunities to step up and grow - within your role and beyond.
