Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Echo Law Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

Echo Law is a plaintiff firm specialising in class actions against established interests. Founded in 2022, we are building a progressive and future-focused practice, with ten class actions currently underway and several more in the pipeline.

We currently require student paralegals, on an ongoing casual basis. Applications are open to current students enrolled in tertiary studies in law.

Successful applicants will demonstrate success in their legal education to-date, and an interest in using their skills to provide access to justice, and pursue corporate accountability.

Duties will include:

  • Reviewing and responding to enquiries from clients and group members;
  • Review of discovered or subpoenaed documents and analysis of significance to case theories;
  • Legal research;
  • Investigations of factual matters relevant to claims (and potential claims);
  • Administration and other office activities.

Applicants with complementary skills or qualifications (eg. data analysis, computer science, finance or economics) will have an advantage in their application, but we will endeavour to help the right candidate gain new capabilities.

A career at Echo Law means working in a values-driven and progressive environment, where care for our clients and the desire to make a meaningful difference is core to what we do. Our firm is a welcoming and safe space for all people and diversity in hiring staff is a priority.

The law students of today are the future of our firm. We are proud to offer good quality legal work to student paralegals that will work flexibly around your studies. We hope that it is the beginning of your career with us as a plaintiff-side class action lawyer.

As a casual employee, your working days will be flexible around study commitments and semester breaks. During semester, we expect availability of at least 15 hours per week.

Employment will be subject to the terms of the
Legal Services Award 2020
. An above-award hourly rate of $44 p/h will be paid for ordinary hours (inclusive of casual loading).

To be considered, all applications must be made by way of an email to noting the expected completion date of your legal studies and attaching:

  • your CV;
  • a current academic transcript; and
  • a short cover letter explaining your interest in our firm and class action practice.
