Join a leading national mid-tier firm with a standout culture and reputation for excellence.
  
This firm is known for its strong team spirit, genuine people, and quality of work. With 6 offices across Australia, they combine the warmth of a close-knit practice with the resources and capability of a large national firm. Many of their lawyers have worked together for years and even moved firms as a group which is a a true testament to the firm’s leadership and culture.

Based in their Brisbane office, you’ll join the Casualty team, acting for some of Australia’s largest insurers and corporate self-insureds. You’ll manage a diverse and interesting portfolio of matters including:
  • Public liability
  • Personal injury defence
  • Product liability
  • Indemnity disputes
  • Catastrophic injury claims
This team does not handle any institutional or historical abuse work, making it one of the few liability teams in Brisy where you can completely get away from that area.

You’ll work closely with two highly regarded Partners and a supportive team of around 15, including lawyers, paralegals, and  lots of administrative support giving you the resources and support to thrive.

About You
  • 5+ years’ PAE in defendant insurance
  • Strong experience managing your own matters with Partner oversight
  • Currently operating at Associate or Senior Associate level
  • Confident communicator with a practical and commercial mindset
  • Lawyers currently working in historical abuse matters who want to transition into broader liability and casualty work are encouraged to apply - this role does not involve any abuse or sensitive claim files  
Why Join This Firm?

You’ll enjoy a genuinely supportive environment where flexibility, development, and wellbeing are prioritised. Highlights include:
  • Flexibility: They’re genuinely flexible, with many team members working 1 to 2 days from home each week, and some even enjoying part-time arrangements with up to 4 days WFH once trust and rapport are established.
  • Modern offices: Brand new, light-filled workspace  where you will have your own large window office
  • Professional growth: Dedicated knowledge management team, monthly CPD sessions, postgraduate study support, and leadership programs
  • Innovation focus: Heavy investment in AI and tech - seems like this firm is at the forefront of this space.
  • Wellbeing: Private health discounts, meditation sessions, flu shots, and fresh fruit delivered weekly
  • Culture: Friday breakfasts, monthly drinks, free coffee, and regular team events
  • Inclusive policies: Paid parental leave, dress-for-your-day policy, and job-share options
