Paralegal (Part-Time)

At Withstand Lawyers, we keep it simple. No outdated processes. No unnecessary complexity. Just real legal work in a fully digital, paperless firm.

• Workers Compensation (WC) and Work Injury Damages (WID)
• Public Liability (PL)
• Total and Permanent Disability (TPD)

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our lawyers, helping injured clients get the support they need. Along the way, you'll sharpen your drafting, build sound legal judgment, and learn what a successful team in a law firm looks like.

The role is a minimum of 3 days per week, with 2 days being from home.

• Engage with real stories daily – Speak with clients at pivotal moments in their lives.
• Summarise key information – Write clearly and concisely to document cases.
• Onboard new clients – Sign up clients over the phone using intuitive legal software.
• Ensure a smooth transition – Work with management to allocate cases efficiently.
• Draft documents - letters, statements, submissions, claim forms.

• Develop judgment on claim viability and case strategy.
• Receive direct, specific constructive feedback to lift your work.

• Organised, detail-focused, keeps matters on track.

How we work - our STAND values

• S – Straight Up. We say the hard thing honestly, clearly, and respectfully. Clear and simple over clever and complicated. Bad news shared early beats bad news found late.

• A – Accountability. We take ownership of all our actions, learn from our mistakes and move forward.
• N – No Ego. We pursue the best outcomes based on facts, not opinion. The best idea wins on merit, not by being the loudest.
• D – Deliver. We move every matter and goal forward with intent, owning the next step and lifting each other as we go. Outcomes over activity, together.
