Lawyers here enjoy an environment designed for flexibility, growth, and wellbeing, including:
  • Genuine flexibility with no set limit on remote working days
  • Option to work 100% remotely for lawyers with strong commercial litigation experience
  • Flat structure where progression is based on merit, not tenure
  • Wellbeing focus, with regular social activities, sporting events, and strong team connection
  • A high-calibre client base including ASX-listed companies, private enterprises, high-net-worth individuals, and a strong national presence in the mining sector
The Work
You’ll join a specialist team and work on sophisticated disputes—primarily in the Supreme and Federal Courts—across a wide variety of commercial matters, including:
  • Breach of contract
  • Misleading or deceptive conduct
  • Corporate regulatory disputes
  • Data breach matters
  • Urgent interlocutory applications
  • Corporate fraud
  • Shareholder disputes
  • Freezing orders
Under the guidance of a highly respected Principal, you'll manage files end-to-end, including drafting correspondence, advices, court documents, interviewing witnesses, managing discovery, preparing briefs, and assisting with trial preparation at all stages.

You’ll also maintain client relationships and instruct Counsel as required.
A standout benefit of this role is the breadth and ownership you’ll gain—balancing hands-on responsibility with exposure to complex, high-value litigation.

Who You’ll Work With
You’ll work directly under a talented female Partner with top-tier and international experience. She is known for her collaborative leadership style, strong mentorship, and genuine commitment to helping lawyers progress and build confidence.

  • A genuine passion for litigation and client service
  • The ability to work independently and collaboratively
  • Enthusiasm to take on responsibility with the support of a strong mentor
The firm offers outstanding development opportunities, encouraging lawyers to shape their own career plans and grow at a pace that suits them. Your progression is merit-based, transparent, and fully supported.

Next Steps
We have a total and uncompromising commitment to confidentiality, while also taking considerable pride in briefing you properly with a comprehensive Information Document on the role.
