- Strong familiarity with legal documentation, court procedures, and the preparation of barrister briefs.
- Excellent written English skills with precise attention to detail in legal drafting and proofreading.
- High agency and ability to work independently, manage a busy caseload, and prioritize urgent tasks without close supervision.
Preferred
- Direct experience within an Australian legal environment, ideally Victoria.
- Prior hands-on experience using ActionStep and/or PracticePanther practice management systems.
- Multi-disciplinary exposure covering family law, workers' compensation, debt recovery, or affidavit drafting.
