An excellent opportunity exists for an experienced Legal Assistant/Paralegal to work in our growing Estates team.

We’re seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Estates Paralegal to join our growing team in Brisbane CBD. In this role, you will support our Associate by preparing estate planning documents (Wills, EPAs, AHDs), assisting with probate or letters of administration applications, managing client queries, and coordinating tasks essential to estate litigation files.

- Working closely with Client Intake to streamline new enquiries and ensure prompt responses.
- Managing estate planning signings, invoicing, and monitoring deadlines.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re self-motivated, highly organized, adaptable, and technologically savvy. A willingness to learn and a positive, team-oriented spirit are essential. Experience in property matters and holding a JP (Qual) or C.Dec is desirable but not mandatory.
