Our client is a premium Sydney CBD firm specialising in environment and planning law, competing directly with top-tier firms and commanding premium fees for its work. This is a permanent opportunity for an Environment & Planning Lawyer at 3-5 PAE to join a genuinely collaborative team where junior and associate-level lawyers work across the practice rather than in silos.
Salary and Benefits offered
• $120,000 - $150,000 package (dependent on experience), reviewed annually
• Realistic 6 billable hour daily target, based on hourly budget rather than fee generation at junior level
• Premium CBD offices with onsite cafe/bar
• Fortnightly team meetings to discuss matters and share knowledge
• Adaptable working arrangements available (no fixed WFH policy, arranged directly with the practice)
• Genuine progression: a proven track record of paralegals advancing through to partner and special counsel level
• Permanent, full time role
About the role

• Running matters across rural acquisitions, waste law, environmental and heritage law, and tree law
• Contributing to pro bono matters alongside fee earning work
• Working directly across the firm rather than within a single silo
• A practical,
scenario based assessment forms part of the interview process, so genuine attention to detail is valued from day one
What you'll bring
• 3-5 years post admission experience (PAE) in environment, planning or related practice
• A current, unrestricted NSW practising certificate
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to run matters with a degree of autonomy
• A collaborative approach and willingness to work across practice areas rather than in a single silo
• Comfort with a realistic, hourly budget based billable target
