Litigation SA (Syd)

Senior Associate | Recovery & Enforcement | Elite Litigation Specialist

  • Market-Leading Salary + Mentorship

  • True File Ownership from Day 1

  • High-End Lender-Side Enforcement & Insolvency



The Opportunity

A premier specialist litigation firm is seeking a high-performing Senior Associate to join their elite Recovery and Enforcement practice. This isn't a role for someone who wants to be a "cog in the machine"—it’s for a seasoned litigator who thrives on autonomy, technical complexity, and the fast-paced nature of lender-side enforcement.

You will move beyond mere process management, taking full carriage of high-stakes matters and delivering the decisive, commercial outcomes this firm is known for.



Why Join This Team?

  • Top-of-Market Remuneration: The firm is committed to attracting the best talent and pays at the top of the market for demonstrated experience.

  • Autonomy & Ownership: You are trusted to drive your own portfolio from day one. No micro-management; just high-level results.

  • 1:1 Mentorship: Work directly with highly regarded practitioners who value technical excellence and professional growth.

  • Culture of Excellence: A focused, high-energy environment where performance is recognized and celebrated.

  • WFH Flexibility: Enjoy a hybrid balance with 1 day per week WFH (available after the successful completion of probation).



Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Matter Management: Lead a diverse portfolio of recovery and enforcement matters with a proactive, results-oriented approach.

  • Strategic Enforcement: Execute complex actions for financial institutions and lenders, navigating intricate regulatory hurdles.

  • Insolvency & Secured Recovery: Provide expert technical advice on high-pressure insolvency scenarios and secured asset recoveries.

  • Client Relationship Management: Act as the primary point of contact for sophisticated clients, providing direct, actionable advice without delay.

  • Litigation Strategy: Develop and implement strategies that prioritize recovery efficiency and commercial finality.



About You

We are looking for a "hit the ground running" litigator with the technical maturity to manage difficult scenarios autonomously.

  • Experience: Currently practicing at the Senior Associate level with a proven track record in litigation, insolvency, or secured recovery.

  • The "Driver" Mindset: You are recognized for your ability to "drive" matters to a conclusion rather than just managing a file.

  • Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of the recovery landscape and local court jurisdictions.

  • Direct Communicator: Exceptional negotiation skills and the ability to work directly with clients to progress matters swiftly.



Benefits & Flexibility

  • Remuneration: Above-market salary package tailored to your experience.

  • Parental Leave: Government standard applies; however, the firm is open to creating a bespoke package for the right candidate.

  • Growth: Exposure to high-value mandates and direct reporting lines to industry leaders.


Ready to take ownership of your career? If you are a local candidate with the technical maturity to lead complex enforcement matters, we want to hear from you. Apply today for a confidential discussion.
