RECRUITMENT - JUNIOR PARALEGAL ADMIN ASSISTANT

---

WHY THIS ROLE IS SPECIAL

This role was created for law students seeking experience in a law firm - for those who want to know what it’s like to work on files, interact with clients and understand what it’s like to be a lawyer in a firm.

It suits law students as:
(a) first and second year law students are encouraged to apply - many of our team members were first or second year students;

(b) we provide comprehensive training for the role - new team members are always pleasantly surprised with the quality and detail of the training;

(c) the role is part-time - you can choose to work two or three days a week, and reduce to one day a week during exams; and

(d) we are seeking up to two junior paralegal admin assistants.

WHAT'S INVOLVED!

1. Take ownership of estate planning files from start to finish—client interactions, drafting documents, coordinating meetings, and making sure every client has a fantastic experience!

2. Completing our comprehensive training within six weeks and applying your newly acquired knowledge to our processes.

3.  Continuously challenging yourself by learning new skills and creating business improvements.  If you think learning a new app or changing our systems can create a better outcome, do it!

TESTIMONIAL FROM JERALDINE

Working at YHC Lawyers has given me the opportunity to have hands-on legal experience. For example, I have been afforded the opportunity to have client interactions and draft legal documents.  Shen and Loan also truly take an interest in the career development of their team so the mentoring I have received from them has also been invaluable.  I could not have asked for a better experience.
