About the Company
Franklin Family Law is a boutique family law practice based in Coorparoo. We are a close-knit team committed to delivering exceptional client service in family law and commercial legal matters.
About the Role
We're looking for a talented Paralegal who brings more than just legal know-how — someone proactive, organised, and switched on enough to support a busy principal across legal work and the day-to-day running of the practice. If you're the kind of person who spots what needs doing before being asked, this role was made for you. We're flexible on hours: full-time suits the right candidate, but we're equally happy to discuss 3 days per week or school hours for someone exceptional.
