**About the Anti-Dumping Commission**:
We are Australia’s international trade remedies authority - the Anti-Dumping Commission. Commission staff investigate alleged unfair trade practices involving goods entered into Australia. These investigations seek to deliver a level playing field for industry. We are responsible for administering Australia’s anti-dumping legislation.

**About the team**:
Paralegals are part of the Legal and Regulatory Affairs team, a small group of lawyers with legal expertise in administrative and trade remedies law.

The team provides high quality, client focussed legal services to investigations teams and the policy team. We prioritise workflows to meet legislative deadlines and collaborate across the Commission. We work closely with the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, external legal providers, and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. We manage the Commission’s role in merits review proceedings by the Anti-Dumping Review Panel and are involved in judicial review proceedings.

The Commission is committed to delivering a positive, flexible and inclusive workplace. Our goal is for staff to reach their full potential through engaging work and career growth opportunities, within a diverse, inclusive and connected team of peers and leaders.

**The opportunity**:
As a paralegal in the commission, you will provide legal research and administrative support to lawyers in the Legal and Regulatory Affairs team.

You will take the initiative to identify practice-related improvements within the Legal and Regulatory Affairs team to enhance the commission’s outcomes. Paralegals work under the direction/supervision of a Senior Legal Counsel and the Principal Legal Counsel in performing their role.

As a highly motivated individual, you will demonstrate:

- Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage and prioritise work to meet deadlines.
- Well-developed verbal and written communication skills.
- Well-developed planning and organisational skills.
- Proficiency in utilising legal research databases (such as LexisNexis and/or Westlaw) and Microsoft Office software (Word, Excel, Powerpoint).
- Ability to work in an evolving regulatory environment, and in the context of a complex statutory scheme, including problem-solving skills and an inquiring mind.
- Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build constructive working relationships with colleagues.
- High standards of professional and personal integrity.

**What you will do**:
This role’s key duties include:

- Undertaking legal research and analysis in areas such as statutory interpretation, administrative law, evidentiary matters, investigations practice/procedure, and World Trade Organization case law in relation to trade remedies.
- Maintaining team databases, including the legal advice register and merits review database.
- Supporting team management by assisting with document management, onboarding of new team members and monitoring the team shared mailbox.
- Assisting with team and branch reporting and data compliance.
- Identifying opportunities for continuous practice and operational improvement, aligned to the commission’s strategic direction.
- Providing support on submissions to merits and judicial review.
- Actively contributing to a positive, productive, and collaborative team environment across the commission.
- Other duties as required from time to time to support the work and priorities of the Legal and Regulatory Affairs team and the commission.

Skills and experience you will gain:

- Exposure to international and domestic legal matters/issues in the field of trade remedies.
- Develop your legal research and analysis skills with the support of experienced lawyers.
- Enhance your ability to communicate and collaborate with a range of stakeholders in a professional environment.
