ABOUT US
Yegal is Australia's first on-demand paralegal service. We connect law student paralegals & graduates with law firms/in-house legal teams for paid project work.
While getting practical experience is important, getting that first break is sometimes hard. To make things worse, managing work around PLT study commitments can be a nightmare! That's why Yegal exists. We find you jobs at times that are convenient to you.
We've built an elite network of premium paralegal talent that clients select based on their individual needs.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are currently recruiting for students and graduates who are high calibre and capable of undertaking Yegal projects with our law firm /corporate counsel clients.
If successful, we will match you to jobs according to your availabilities and our needs.
All paralegals are employed directly by Yegal and are paid above market salary for their time.
There are fantastic opportunities to get industry leading mentorship, work with high profile international firms and get practical experience for your legal career.
Graduates have the opportunity to rotate across firms and practice areas and many of our star paralegals are recruited as graduates following the end of Yegal projects.
