Our lawyers are passionate advocates for everyday Australians and take a deep personal interest in the success of each of our matters. We are driven by a commitment to a fairer Australia, where everyday workers are not forgotten in a profit-driven economy.

About the Role

Due to our expanding class action base, we are seeking to recruit experienced and dynamic lawyers capable of overseeing matters and directing junior staff as required. Ideally, applicants will be located in Adelaide or be willing to relocate.

The roles on offer are at a Senior Associate/ Special Counsel level and would best suit applicants looking to join a supportive firm that will assist in growing their own practice and working towards a Principal position. This is a strong opportunity for someone seeking to further their legal career.

Successful applicants will be offered generous remuneration packages based on their individual strengths and demonstrated abilities.

• Admission to practice in an Australian jurisdiction
• 3 to 8 years’ PAE in private practice

• Working on large litigation files in a team environment
• Liaising with clients and third-party stakeholders
• Preparing court documents
• Drafting correspondence and documents in the course of litigation
• Briefing and liaising with Counsel and litigation funders
• Working collaboratively to develop strategic direction

Whilst employment law or class action experience is desirable, it is not essential. Project management experience and experience managing a small team are also desirable.
