6 Employment & Industrial Law jobs

Our small, boutique law firm is currently offering an exciting opportunity for several graduate paralegals who are seeking pre-admission work experience. The positions are unpaid until the date on which the applicants fulfil all requirements for admission. From from that date onwards they will be paid casual positions, with pay to be determined in accordance with the Legal Services Award or as agreed. There will also be at least one permanent full-time junior lawyer position advertised in or around September 2017, with preference being given to people who have completed a traineeship with our firm. The firm's head office is in Bendigo, Victoria. Trainees would be expected to attend the Bendigo office at least one day per week with preference being given to people who can attend on two or more days. There is some flexibility about days and hours, however. For instance, 10 am (or even later) arrivals in Bendigo might accommodate Melbourne-based applicants, and would be acceptable to us provided applicants are able to be contactable by mobile phone and able to work from 9-10 while in transit. You could also work from home one or more days, or in our Melbourne serviced office. Applicants who cannot under any circumstances travel to Bendigo (eg because of family or carer responsibilities, or because they are interstate) should not be deterred from applying. We are an equal opportunity employer and endeavour to accommodate flexible work arrangements, for the right people. Our main areas of work are telecommunications and technology, and employment law (both employer and employee work). Although small in size, the practice is extremely busy and is very successful, with clients including Mercedes-Benz Australia Pacific, Bendigo Bank Telco and Southern Phones. This is accordingly an incredible opportunity for motivated graduates, particularly those with an interest in telecommunications and technology law, intellectual property and/or employment law. There is also scope for other commercial law work. We also have a thriving pro bono practice, primarily specialising in animal rights and animal welfare issues. Successful applicants would be encouraged to assist in our pro bono work, if they have an interest in such areas of practice.
