Refine Legal | South Yarra / Hybrid

Casual | Approx. 3–4 half days per week

Award rate, commensurate with experience and classification

Refine Legal is a sole practitioner property and commercial law practice seeking a reliable and experienced paralegal to provide conveyancing and general administrative support.

This is a flexible casual role, initially around 3–4 half days per week, with flexibility around how those hours are structured. Most work can be performed from home, although some time working together from our South Yarra coworking space will be preferable, particularly while we get up and running.

The role will initially be casual, with the possibility of transitioning to a permanent part-time arrangement after approximately six months if the arrangement is working well for both of us.

The role

Working directly with the principal lawyer, your responsibilities will include:

- managing residential, commercial and industrial conveyancing files under supervision, from opening through to settlement;
- general file administration and matter management;
- preparing conveyancing correspondence and documentation;
- assisting with preliminary reviews of contracts of sale and section 32 vendor statements;
- assisting with client onboarding, PEXA settlements, SRO duties forms and related conveyancing processes;
- ordering and reviewing searches and certificates;
- liaising with clients, other solicitors, conveyancers, agents and other parties as required;
- assisting with basic commercial and retail leasing work from time to time; and




- general administrative support across the practice.

About you

Previous Victorian conveyancing experience is preferred, including familiarity with the conveyancing process from initial instructions through to settlement. Experience with commercial or industrial property transactions would be an advantage but is not essential.

Experience with Smokeball, PEXA and InfoTrack would also be particularly helpful, although training will be provided.

The role would suit someone looking for flexible, consistent hours without necessarily wanting a traditional full-time office role.

You should be organised, responsive and attentive to detail, and comfortable working independently on routine tasks once familiar with our processes. As this is a small practice, reliability and good communication are particularly significant.

Working arrangements The anticipated workload is approximately 3–4 half days per week, with flexibility around days and hours. The role will predominantly be work from home.

Some attendance at our South Yarra coworking space will be preferred, particularly during the initial period while we establish systems and ways of working together.

The position will be casual initially, with the potential to transition to a permanent part-time arrangement after approximately six months by mutual agreement.
