Casual Paralegal, Planning and Environment (Start ASAP)

About the role

The successful candidate will be responsible for drafting monthly client alerts and managing large regulatory compliance manuals for clients. Legal research will also form a key part of this position, along with preparing presentations for internal and external seminars, drafting articles for publication, and assisting with Land Court and Planning and Environment Court appeals.

This is a 3-day per week position; however, this can be flexible to accommodate university timetabling and assessment. The start date for this position is late January 2024.

About the ideal candidate

The ideal candidate will:

• be in their second or third year of law at the time of applying and expecting to graduate no earlier than late 2025;
• have excellent drafting skills and high attention to detail;
• have excellent time management and prioritisation skills;
• have a law grade point average of at least 5.5 out of 7 (or equivalent); 
• be enthusiastic and willing to learn; and
• be available to work in this position for approximately 3 years (transitioning to more senior paralegal duties as time progresses).

An interest in the environment and planning law is essential; however, no prior study in those areas is required.
