PLT Standard Format Placement of 75 days. Learn about Family Law, Migration Law, Contract Law, Consumer Law and other areas of general practice and have fun along the way. Become a part of a family with a commitment to work-life balance and well-being.
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. Work will include drafting of legal letters, affidavits, initiating applications, submissions and the like. You will be under the direct supervision of the Firm's Directors who will provide guidance, mentoring, and hopefully a lifelong association and friendship.
