Producing reports on matters, documents and legal spend
Your work ensures lawyers can move quickly without compromising accuracy or risk.

You will assist the team on a wide range of legal projects, including:
Preparing first drafts of standard agreements such as NDAs, supplier contracts and letters
Setting up and managing due diligence data rooms

Clinic, property and dispute support

Compiling lease and property documentation and tracking key dates
Managing routine approvals, variations and consents
Organising dispute files and preparing bundles for external lawyers
Recording time and activity for internal charge-back purposes
Corporate governance and compliance
A major part of the role involves slicing through corporate administration and ensuring the group stays compliant.
This includes:
Preparing and lodging ASIC and business name filings
Managing company registers and entity records
Assisting with director appointments and onboarding
Maintaining corporate data in governance platforms such as Diligent
You will help ensure the organisation's corporate structure is accurate, transparent and audit-ready at all times.
Who this role suits
This role is suited to:
A career paralegal looking for a sophisticated in-house position, or
A final-year law student wanting exposure to governance, transactions and legal operations
You will ideally have:
Previous experience in a law firm or in-house legal team
