Sparke Helmore Lawyers is a truly integrated national firm that looks to the future. Established in 1882, we have over 800 people flexibly working from nine offices across Australia. We offer the security and history of a long-established firm with the excitement and opportunity for growth. We operate in a way that puts our clients and our people at the heart of everything we do — we're proud to be described as being down to earth, practical and easy to deal with.
We have an exciting opportunity for a full-time Paralegal to join our Government practice in Melbourne. This is a fast paced role, handling high volumes of files, with day to day tasks including compilation of court books, preparing briefs for counsel and tribunal documents, daily correspondence with court, clients and Barristers and conducting legal research.
Two years' experience in a litigation practice is preferred but not essential, strong technical skills in PDF editing and Microsoft Office required and experience with researching tools would be an advantage. Being highly organised, with excellent communication skills and strong attention to detail is critical for this role, as well as the ability to work autonomously and act as a mentor to junior team members.
This position would suit an experienced paralegal, or a legal secretary looking to take the next step in their career.
We recognise people value things differently. That's why our comprehensive benefits program is wide ranging so that everyone can find something that appeals to them. We're sure you will find something to love about what Sparke Helmore has to offer.
