THL is a small and busy firm in the lower North Shore of Sydney with a focus on dispute resolution and employment law.
We’re looking for a PLT volunteer to join us on a full time or part time basis for a hands-on introduction of legal practice. If you secure a placement with us, we will provide you with genuine and meaningful experience that will prepare you for a career in the law. This will include supervised tasks like:
Taking instructions from clients;
Drafting advice;
Liaising with other solicitors/representatives;
Conducting research;
Attending court/mediation.
We will provide you with mentoring, training and supervision as you undertake this work. If we can’t offer you a paid job at the end of the placement (we can’t guarantee this), we’ll do our best to help you find employment by introducing and promoting you to our networks within the profession.
We don’t particularly care about the uni you attended or your academic record. If you are a good communicator and have an appetite for learning, you are exactly what we are looking for.
