About The Role:
This nationally recognised commercial law firm is seeking a Senior Property Paralegal or Licensed Conveyancer to join its busy Real Estate team based in Sydney. The role provides leave coverage for the current Conveyancer for six months or longer, with potential for contract extension or permanent employment.

The successful candidate will run NSW conveyancing matters independently, managing property sale transactions from commencement to settlement with minimal supervision. Key responsibilities include:
  • Settlements via PEXA
  • Preparing transaction documentation
  • Conducting property searches
  • Liaising with clients, agents, and counterparties. 
A major attraction of this role is the opportunity to work closely with a highly regarded Real Estate partner, gaining exposure to complex property development and investment projects while benefiting from mentorship and guidance.

The team also includes a junior paralegal, offering opportunities to mentor and delegate tasks, while other aspects of the current Conveyancer’s workload will be absorbed elsewhere in the business. This is a full-time role with strong autonomy and excellent career development potential.

The Ideal Candidate
You will ideally bring:
  • Proven NSW conveyancing experience, with the ability to manage files independently from start to finish
  • Confidence using PEXA to complete settlements
  • Experience preparing documentation, conducting searches, and managing client and counterparty communications
  • Senior paralegal experience or equivalent capability to mentor junior staff
  • Broader property experience is welcome, but strong conveyancing expertise is essential
  • Lawyers currently between roles are welcome to apply if happy to work in a conveyancer or paralegal capacity
  • Experience with property search providers such as InfoTrack is desirable.
Why This Firm?
The firm is nationally recognised, providing legal services to a diverse range of national and international clients. It is known for a supportive and collaborative culture that empowers people to perform, grow, and succeed.

Key benefits include:
  • Structured bonus programs: Firm Bonus, Individual Incentive Arrangement, and Discretionary Bonus
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Holistic health and wellbeing initiatives, including subsidised gym memberships
  • Mentoring, coaching, and leadership programs
  • Charity leave and robust community partnership programs
  • In-house barista, kids’ room, newly refurbished offices, and end-of-trip facilities
  • Active social and sporting committees
  • Strong learning and development programs throughout your career.
