- Organised and efficient. You prioritise well, manage competing deadlines, and keep matters moving without losing attention to detail.
- A strong communicator. You write and speak clearly and professionally, understanding that our clients expect crisp, concise advice.
- A self-starter. You take initiative, work independently when needed, and proactively flag issues before they become problems.
- A team player. You collaborate effectively with lawyers, senior paralegals, and client-facing teams across a fast-paced environment.
- Legally educated (preferred). An undergraduate Law degree or equivalent is preferred; a GDL is welcome. Prior exposure to LP Transfer processes is a plus but not required.
