Overview
We are currently looking for Paralegals with a minimum of 12 months experience in commercial contracts to work for various roles.
The application process is quick and easy to complete.
The Role

Opportunities vary from short-term paralegal roles of a few weeks to much longer placements, as well as permanent positions where you would be hired directly by our clients.

We would review your application and if your skills, experience and qualifications match our requirements, we will contact you to schedule an interview with a member of our recruitment team.
