3 days ago
We have an exciting opportunity for a legal assistant or paralegal to join our rapidly growing, specialist family law firm based in our Wollongong office. Seacliff Family Law is a modern and progressive law firm not bound by the conventional norms of the traditional legal practice, but rather fuelled by a commitment to innovation and delivering specialised, client focused legal advice and representation woven with support, empathy and sensitivity.
If you are someone who is highly motivated, has great attention to detail and has a passion for helping people during a complex time in their life - we would love to hear from you

- That you are hard working, proactive, motivated and willing to learn
- That you are organised and have a high level attention to detail

What we don't care about:
- Your qualifications.
- Your age.
- Your familiarity with specific software. We will provide training on our practice management software if required.
The roles and responsibilities include:
- Answering telephones and being the first point of contact for new enquiries, greeting clients, administrative tasks and general office duties including maintaining a clean and organised office space

- Preparing Briefs to Counsel
