• Advocate for your clients and not be afraid to get 'stuck in' and attend in Courts and Tribunals on a regular basis;

• Settle a range of legal documents;
• Guide clients through the legal process;
• Engage in client development and contribute to the ongoing growth of the firm; and
• Report to the Partners with respect to service and advice being provided to clients.

Therefore, you will be able to -

• Take ownership of your work;
• Be responsible for the service and turnaround times for matters;
• Oversee other staff involved in your matters;
• Have strong analytical and written communication skills in order to provide a high level of legal assistance, be highly organised and self-motivated with a demonstrated ability to appear as an advocate in court;
