About this Role
The Opportunity Are you an ambitious Employment Lawyer looking to transition from a generalist firm to a high-stakes, specialist environment? One of Australia’s most prestigious, dedicated labour and employment practices is looking to expand its Sydney team.
This is not a "churn and burn" environment. This firm is known for representing top-tier employers in high-impact advisory and high-stakes litigation. You will work within a collaborative, innovative culture that prioritizes finding "a better way" to deliver legal services, moving away from rigid, traditional structures.
The Specialists: They are Australia’s only dedicated labour, employment, and safety provider operating as part of a major global network.
The Pedigree: You will be mentored by partners widely regarded as market leaders and recognized in top-tier international rankings.
The Culture: They thrive on innovation, deep client integration, and a commitment to inclusion and diversity.
Substantive Autonomy: Unlike other mid-level roles, you will have significant involvement in matter strategy and management, with direct client contact.
Top-Tier Mentorship: Side-by-side learning with industry icons, comprehensive CPD initiatives, and structured career coaching.
High-Profile Matters: Work on the cases that make the headlines, solving complex workplace issues for leading global employers.
We are looking for a lawyer who is "all-in" on employment law. To be successful, you will need:
Experience: 2–4 years PQE with a strong background in labour and employment law.
Academics: Excellent academic credentials and a sharp, commercial mindset.
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills; you should be able to translate complex legalities into actionable commercial advice.
Drive: A passion for "going deep" with clients to truly understand their business objectives.
If you are ready to move your career into the "inner circle" of employment law and work for a firm that invests heavily in your professional growth, we want to hear from you.
