Why Sparke Helmore?

As an independent Australian firm with a long history and a big heart, we have a rich story to tell. Our spirit is built on the power of relationships with our people, clients and communities.

At Sparke Helmore, you'll be actively involved as part of a diverse, genuine and friendly team. We'll help you harness your ambition and take your skills to new heights with exposure to outstanding clients and easy access to exceptional leaders and mentors.

Your story is yours to define. We'd like to be part of it and for you to be part of ours.

We're offering a rare opportunity for an experienced Paralegal to join our Corporate & Commercial team in Brisbane, working alongside Heather Beckingsale and Aston Joppich.

About the Role and Team

  • Join a large, diverse team united by shared values and a clear vision, specialising in a broad range of Corporate and Commercial law and private client matters, including Wills and Estates and Property.

  • Take a lead role in estate administration—drafting legal documents, preparing probate applications, managing court filings, and building trusted relationships with clients, executors, and beneficiaries through the estate administration process.

  • This is a permanent, full-time position based in our centrally located Brisbane office, offering genuine collaboration and recognition through ongoing feedback, support, development, and training.

About You

  • You bring proven experience in estate administration or a similar legal support role. Experience in drafting Wills and EPOAs and/or assisting with property matters is an advantage but not essential.

  • You have strong attention to detail, excellent time management, and clear, professional communication skills—both written and verbal.

  • This role is ideal for a career paralegal seeking a warm, supportive team, or a seasoned legal secretary ready to take the next step.

What Sparke Helmore can offer you

Our culture is one which values and celebrates diversity to better represent the communities in which we live and work. We encourage people from all backgrounds to join us - and bring their whole selves to work.

We recognise people value things differently. That's why our comprehensive benefits program is wide ranging so that everyone can find something that appeals to them. We're sure you will find something to love about what Sparke Helmore has to offer.
