Job description

Career Paralegal - Debt Recovery & Litigation

Debt Recovery Paralegal | Brisbane CBD | Run your own matters

If you can take a debt recovery file from instruction to enforcement, this role will let you do exactly that.

A specialist Brisbane CBD practice is adding an experienced paralegal to its debt recovery, commercial litigation and insolvency team. You would carry your own portfolio, work directly with the lawyers and the Principal, and decide what happens next on each file.

This is not a support role with a paralegal title. It is a paralegal career, respected as one.

The work

• Debt recovery claims from first instruction through to enforcement
• Bankruptcy and winding-up proceedings, statutory demands and related applications
• Caveats, charging clauses and equitable mortgage matters
• Pre- and post-appointment insolvency matters
• Court documents, filing, service and critical dates
• Direct contact with corporate clients, solicitors and the courts

The clients are mostly corporate and repeat, so you build relationships and see matters through, rather than churning volume.

Why paralegals stay here

• You own your files. Your judgement is expected, not just your typing.
• Good ideas count, whoever has them. There is no rigid hierarchy.
• The lawyers and Principal are hands-on and available when you need legal input.
• The team is stable, and the firm backs you to keep building your technical skills.

You’ll bring

• Solid debt recovery, commercial litigation or insolvency experience, in a law firm or a collections or insolvency environment
• Working knowledge of Queensland and Federal Court processes, filing and deadlines
• The ability to run multiple matters independently and keep them moving
• Confidence with clients and external parties
• Organised; attention to detail; and a practical head

This role is built for a paralegal who wants to grow at paralegal level. It is not a pathway to admission, so it won’t suit law students or recent graduates looking for a graduate role.
