- Collaborating with product and engineering teams to improve legal workflows and tooling purpose-built for the team
Key Requirements
- Demonstrated experience with complex probate matters, including NSW Supreme Court applications and managing requisitions

- Strong attention to detail and thoroughness — high volume means nothing can slip through the cracks
- Ability to work at pace and efficiently close matters using modern systems and tools
- Willingness to thrive in a startup law firm environment — comfortable with ambiguity and building processes as you go
