Are you a recent Paralegal graduate looking to gain hands-on experience in legal practice, collections, recovery, and enforcement?
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Paralegal (New Graduate) to join our growing team. This role offers hands-on exposure to civil litigation support, collections, enforcement, and compliance, working closely with management, finance, and external legal professionals.
If you are organized, confident in written communication, and interested in the intersection of law and financial recovery, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your career in a structured, professional environment.

This is a high-performance setting where your work directly impacts departmental outcomes and drives revenue, offering meaningful experience and strong professional growth opportunities.
