Paralegal/legal Assistant - North Sydney, Australia - UX Law

Description

About us
We are a boutique commercial law firm with an emphasis on helping startups and private businesses.

We're committed to radically 'de-formalising' the process of providing and obtaining legal advice, and creating a more pleasant experience for both clients and lawyers.

We have a young and flexible workplace - we dress casually (no suits) and the atmosphere in the office is relaxed.

We prioritise our employees' work/life balance, and do not believe in working after-hours or imposing stressful KPIs on our employees.

About the role
We are looking for a paralegal or a legal assistant to join our practice.

In this role, you will assist the lawyers with tasks such as:

• File and calendar management, billing
• Preparing and drafting simple legal documents such as company records and secretarial work (minutes, resolutions, certificates, notices)
• Assisting with property matters such as conveyancing and leasing
• Assisting with client communication and management
• Submitting ASIC lodgements, company incorporations, trust preparations, and other government forms
• Liaising with thirdparties, other law firms, government agencies and referral partners
• Conducting legal research
• Proofreading documents

We are looking for someone with the following characteristics:

• Experience working in law firms or at least other professional services firms (eg, accounting firms)
• Able to work both from the office and remotely
• Shows initiative and attempts to resolve problems independently before asking for help
• A meticulous nature and a high level of attention to detail
• Highly organised, capable of keeping track of matters, deadlines, reminders, followups

Working with us

• Our staff's worklife balance is extremely important to us, it would be very rare for us to ask you to work outside of business hours or put undue pressure on you to meet unrealistic targets.
• We allow partial remote work, however the expectation is to be in the office at least 3 days a week
• We are currently working from a shared office with an accounting and advisory firm, so there are lots of friendly people in the office and monthly social events.
• We believe that this is a great opportunity for anyone in the legal profession who is interested in startups and is sick of the more rigid and traditional law firm environment.
