The Role
We are recruiting an experienced full-time permanent conveyancing paralegal to join our growing retirement villages (RV) conveyancing team. MinterEllison has Australia's leading RV practice and continues to grow from strength to strength, working with a variety of retirement village operators - from the nation's largest through to boutique operators who are rapidly growing. As part of Australia's leading RV team you will have the opportunity to work in a booming and interesting area of law while being well supported with state of the art technology and systems.
MinterEllison was named Australia's Law Firm of the Year in Real Property Law in the 2025 The Best Lawyers in Australia edition recognising the efforts of a large number of Partners and their teams. In this role, you will work with Partner Peter Mitchell and his highly experienced team.
In this role you will be part of an experienced and supportive team of paralegals, lawyers, senior lawyers and Partners, with dedicated support from team administrators and registration clerks. You will deal directly with our clients on a daily basis to manage your own conveyancing files through to settlement.
Please note this role is best suited to a career paralegal. Law students are encouraged to consider our clerkship and graduate programs as an alternate career pathway.
