Legal vacancies cover admitted attorneys and candidate attorneys, conveyancers, litigation and corporate lawyers, legal advisors, compliance officers, company secretarial staff, paralegals and legal secretaries. The qualification path is strictly regulated: an LLB followed by articles or pupillage and admission through the relevant provincial division of the High Court, with additional conveyancing or notarial exams for specialist property work. In-house and compliance roles have grown steadily, particularly in financial services, where knowledge of FAIS, FICA, POPIA and AML obligations is frequently a core requirement rather than a nice-to-have. Legal secretaries and paralegals form the support backbone of most firms, and strong dictation, document formatting, court filing and case management system experience are what employers screen for. Attention to detail and a clean professional record are non-negotiable across the category, and most firms check references carefully before offering. Candidate attorney posts are highly competitive, so applying early and widely is standard practice. See current legal jobs below.
