3. Strong telephone skills and ability to communicate with various stakeholders

5. Ability to supervise legal work and to mentor and train staff as well as contribute to the development of individuals and their knowledge and skills in Wills and Estates
6. 3+ Years PQE

It is preferred that you have:

1. Knowledge or experience with PEXA and the Supreme Court RedCrest Probate system

What's in it for you?

Apart from being part of a fantastic team, you will also get:

1. A competitive remuneration package
2. Extensive and invaluable training across multiple jurisdictions from wills & estates lawyers PLUS access to ongoing training and development budget
3. The opportunity to undertake meaningful work, helping clients when they need it most
4. A supportive and collaborative work culture, where individual talents and performance are rewarded and celebrated alongside team wins
5. Unlimited room for growth as the company expands across Australia
