This role offers exposure to a broad range of criminal matters and the opportunity to take real ownership of your files, while being supported by a collaborative and driven firm.

 

Our approach is simple—we focus on outcomes, communicate in a way clients understand, and support them through what are often complex and high-pressure situations. We are known for being commercially minded, responsive, and genuinely invested in our clients.

 

We understand the significant personal and professional impact these matters can have, and we are committed to guiding our clients with clarity, discretion, and strong advocacy.

  • Appearing in the Magistrates Court and assisting in higher court matters
  • Providing clear, pragmatic advice to clients
  • Drafting court documents, submissions, and correspondence
  • Liaising with clients, counsel, prosecutors, and other stakeholders

 

You will also have experience across a range of criminal law matters, including:

  • Assault and violence-related offences
  • Drug offences (possession, trafficking, cultivation)
  • Traffic and driving offences (including DUI and license disqualifications)
  • Bail applications and sentencing hearings
  • Restraining orders and related proceedings
  • Fraud, theft, and dishonesty offences
  • Police interviews, early advice, and charge negotiations

 

Depending on your experience, you may also be involved in more complex or indictable matters in the District or Supreme Court.

 

Why join us

At HHG Legal Group, we are a growing full-service firm with a strong presence across Western Australia. We work with businesses, individuals, and families, providing clear, strategic advice across a wide range of legal areas.

 

We pride ourselves on being commercially minded, responsive, and genuinely invested in our clients. Our team works collaboratively, supports each other, and focuses on delivering the best possible outcomes.

 

This is an opportunity to join a firm where you can build your career, take ownership of your work, and be exposed to interesting and often complex matters. You will be part of a firm that values both performance and people, with genuine opportunities for growth and development.
