The Prospect
At Shine Lawyers, we pride ourselves on working tirelessly to pave the way in securing justice for those in our community. As a full-time, permanent Graduate Solicitor within the Melton-based Personal Injury team, you’ll gain hands-on experience pursuing justice for clients who have been wronged.

- Developing a proficient ability to effectively assess claims, including liability and quantum.
- Cultivating strong relationships with clients and peers through exceptional communication.
- Preparing legal documentation with a high degree of detail, and assisting with running a file load with a keen level of commercial and fiscal awareness.
What you’ll bring
To thrive in this role, you’ll:
- Have completed your law degree recently
- Current practising certificate, or timeline of when you're eligible to receive one
- Ideally have some pre-admission experience in personal injury (e.g. workers' compensation and/or transport accident cases, or similar) however, is not essential for success
- Have a passion for social justice and a thirst for knowledge in the plaintiff law space.
- Possess exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Be dedicated to delivering exceptional client service, with an emphasis on helping people when they need it most.
- Be able to effectively manage multiple competing deadlines, within a fast-paced environment.
- Demonstrate a genuine interest in Shine’s areas of practice.
- Bring diversity of experience, and evidence of extra-curricular activities aligned with Shine’s work, such as volunteering or community work.
- Be an active member of relevant associations will be favourably considered, as will paid and non-paid work experience in the legal field.
