CNM Legal is a specialist corporate law firm based in the Brisbane CBD. We work with companies in the financial services and funds management industry.
Our culture
We are a friendly, close-knit team. While we take our work seriously, we do not take ourselves seriously. We offer a fun, supportive culture where employees bring out the best in each other.
The role and duties
This is a permanent part-time role (three days per week) which requires a proactive, reliable individual who enjoys supporting others and doing interesting, varied work. The role is focused primarily on practice support and administration, including billing, file management, document preparation and client correspondence. As you develop, you will also assist our lawyers with legal research and drafting, with legal work increasing as your skills and studies progress. The role may suit a law student going into their penultimate year of study in 2027 (graduating at the end of 2028) who has the capacity to work three days per week whilst studying. Our hope is that the position may lead to a graduate lawyer role based on performance. Additional qualifications in commerce, accounting or finance are preferred given the nature of the legal work we do.
