Paralegal
We have a fantastic opportunity for friendly and detail-oriented Paralegals to join our team. You will play a vital role in supporting our lawyers, working closely with clients, assisting in drafting legal documents and providing overall administrative support.
About us
At Curae Law, our mission is simple: We exist to help people simplify and solve legal problems.
We empower our clients to understand their legal problems, the options available to them and to make good decisions; and then to solve them, so they can move on with their lives. We do this through delivering practical, customer-focused services at incredibly high standards.
We are seeking Paralegals who are committed to supporting lawyers and clients with compassion and precision and contributing to the delivery of clear, high-quality legal services.
The role
As a Paralegal, you will be responsible for providing responsive and high quality legal assistant and paralegal services to our lawyers and directors. You will be expected to maintain strict levels of discretion and confidentiality, display a high level of initiative and word processing skills and have outstanding organisational skills.
Day to day responsibilities include:
- Professional responses to client enquiries by phone and email
- Editing and drafting legal documents and correspondence, including Wills, applications for Grants of Probate and related documents
- Providing general legal secretarial support
- Coordinating appointments, including bookings, document preparation and follow up tasks
- Saving and cataloguing documents to our document management system
These positions are open to full-time and part-time applicants and will be based in our office in the Perth CBD.
About you
The successful applicant will:
- embrace our core values: be kind, do things differently, and strive for excellence;
- have exceptional organisation and time management skills;
- be proactive and take initiative;
- have an eye for detail and the ability to produce high quality, accurate legal documents;
- have the ability to work under pressure.
Experience working in a Paralegal, Executive Assistant or Personal Assistant role will be highly regarded but is not essential.
What we offer
- Rewarding work as part of a values-led team
- Significant opportunity to develop your professional skills through our ongoing support, mentorship, and professional development. We will help you design a plan to achieve your career goals
- No overtime or billable hours budgets – we work hard while we’re here, and then expect our team to go home and enjoy the other parts of their lives
- A genuine approach to flexible work, including our Core Working Hours policy
