  • Admission as a legal practitioner and a current, or eligible, ACT practising certificate
  • Strong communication and people skills—putting clients at ease with both skill and sensitivity
  • Independent judgement, but also a collaborative spirit
  • A love of variety, balance, and thinking outside the box
Why Join Us?
  • Work directly with a leading lawyer in a collaborative, mentorship-focused environment
  • Play a foundational role in a new and growing practice
