This is a permanent, full-time position. We are not considering part-time or casual arrangements.
Why Join Potts Lawyers?
At Potts Lawyers, we do things differently.

* Strong teamwork and hands-on mentoring
* Real career development and growth opportunities
* A role where you can enjoy your work and your life outside the office
