We are a global legal services provider. In Australia, we have offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, with an associate office in Adelaide, with more than 100 partners and over 800 staff. Our expertise, attitude and accessibility attract many of Australasia's most successful and innovative organisations as well as leading multinationals.

Many of our partners are consistently recognised in each of these directories and in Best Lawyers International: Australia. Dentons was again named the Lawyers weekly Diversity law firm of the year for a second year running.
About the Role
Dentons has a fantastic opportunity for a paralegal to join its highly regarded litigation team in Perth on a full time permanent basis. In this busy team, Dentons acts on behalf of a number of banks and financial institutions on litigated debtor matters.
The work is of a fast paced nature, which will see you having the responsibility of managing a number of files, some of which will go to Court. In such cases, you will work alongside the lawyers in the team with an emphasis on compliance and quality assurance.
Your duties will include but not be limited to:
- Acting as first point of contact for clients and other parties relating to the litigated matters;
- Preparing legal documentation, including court process documents;
- File management and regular client communication via specialised web-based systems; and
- Working with lawyers to progress matters through the relevant Court (Supreme Court) process to obtain resolution.
About you
You will be very well organised and have strong communication and attention to detail. In this role, you will handle a large workload and will be required to keep your workload up to date.
Whilst you will work in a friendly team environment with training to help you along the way, you will also be self-motivated and driven. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential. You will have a professional outlook and the ability to deal with sensitive matters. In addition, a high level of enthusiasm and energy is a must. This role is specialised and a willingness to undertake a period of training is essential.
Secured or unsecured debt recovery experience or experience as a paralegal is desirable but not essential.

We offer competitive market salary packaging, incentive pay and reward, salary sacrifice packaging, additional leave programs (purchased leave, parental leave) and referral bonuses.

We offer a range of benefits to our staff and their families. At Dentons, we are constantly looking to improve employee's lives in and out of the workplace.
