Conveyancing/Property Lawyer 2 Years Pae

The Firm

Our boutique law firm client is based about 10km Southwest of the CBD. Headed by an ex top tier expert in building and construction law, the firm was founded years ago to provide a personalised service to builders and developers. The firm has since grown to include all areas of legal practice. It is now home to approx. 7 staff who are as collegiate and friendly as they are professional. This firm represents a chance to work autonomously, but with plenty of guidance and support. It allows its lawyers to feel secure about their practice and enjoy their work to a high level. Lawyers at this firm are a happy and satisfied bunch, doing what they love, among friendly colleagues and building their careers at their own pace.
