Casual Paralegal Position

Sydney, Australia Massons Full time

**Casual paralegal position - 6 month contract role**:
September 2, 2024

Massons is looking for highly intelligent and driven paralegals to join the paralegal pool at our commercial property specialist firm. Reporting to the partners and lawyers of that team, our paralegals work on a wide range of premium commercial property matters, providing both legal and administrative support.

**Job description**:
The position is based in the Sydney CBD and we will provide training for the role.

We are looking to employ casual paralegals to be part of the paralegal pool, initially for a 6 month period, and to work during that time on an “as needed” basis. Generally, most paralegals will work with us 1 or 2 days per week, depending on our lawyers’ need for support and their university commitments. We will run a formal recruitment process once each year to refresh and extend the available pool of talented paralegals. Some of our paralegals stay with us beyond the 6 month initial employment period.

You should be aware that Massons has a history of employing graduates straight from its paralegal pool, which has the advantage of our graduates being advanced in their legal knowledge and skills, even before they complete their final practical legal training component of study and are admitted as lawyers. Whilst many paralegals leave us to pursue different careers, we are very proud of the current lawyers who have started with us as part of the paralegal pool.

**Criteria**:
Ideally you will:

- have a minimum distinction average
- be available for at least 2 full days work per week (except during exam periods)
- have strong attention to detail
- have the ability to manage a large workload under pressure, prioritise and deliver work with a high level of accuracy
- have maturity and common-sense
- have advanced Microsoft Office skills, particularly Word and Excel
- a positive attitude and sense of humour

**What can we offer you?**:
Massons is an independent, premium law firm specialising exclusively in Australian commercial property law. Led by Jodie Masson and Leisha de Aboitiz, Massons has a high profile within the real estate industry and a sophisticated client base built on long-term relationships.

**Selection**:
Offers will be made promptly following the interview.
