About this Role
Are you an experienced Insurance or Litigation Lawyer looking for a role that offers true variety beyond the standard slip-and-fall file?
Join a progressive, mid-sized firm with a 160-year legacy and a reputation for excellence. We are looking for a high-quality practitioner (3–6+ years PAE) to join our collaborative team, working closely with industry-leading partners who prioritize 1:1 mentorship and genuine autonomy.
This isn’t a "one-track" role. You will manage a sophisticated mix of matters across the commercial, insurance, and education sectors:
35% Historic Abuse Cases: Navigating sensitive, complex claims.
35% Employment Litigation: Including discrimination, bullying, WHS, and procedural fairness.
30% General Litigation: Commercial disputes, public liability, and coronial inquests.
Sustainable Performance: A manageable target of 6.5 billable hours per day.
True Flexibility: Work from home 2 days per week with a standard 8:30 am – 5:00 pm office culture.
Market-Leading Benefits: Access to a 20-week paid parental leave policy and a discretionary bonus structure.
Autonomy with Support: Run your own files independently while benefiting from the strategic guidance of approachable, collaborative partners.
We are seeking a detail-oriented lawyer who thrives on complexity and possesses strong client communication skills.
To be successful, you MUST have:
3+ years PAE within a Defendant Insurance practice.
Prior experience specifically handling Historic Abuse matters.
A background in civil litigation and/or employment law.
The ability to provide high-level advisory work alongside active litigation.
We offer the best of both worlds: the high-caliber, challenging work typically found at major competitors, but within a mid-sized environment where you are a valued individual, not just a number. We are large enough to provide a diverse client base but small enough to ensure your career growth is fast-tracked.
