The position is full-time (suitable part-time candidates may also be considered). The position will be based somewhere in either Port Melbourne, the CBD or inner North of Melbourne as we are looking to acquire an office as we are growing and are looking for committed individuals who want to learn and immerse themselves in the law during their PLT placement.
