We've experienced significant growth and are now looking for a talented Junior Lawyer with immigration law experience to join our close-knit and high-performing team.

About the Role

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded junior lawyer who is passionate about immigration law and understands the value of strong client relationships and legal service delivery. You will work across a diverse range of immigration matters — including partner visas, protection visas, skills assessments, employer-sponsored matters, and tribunal appeals — while developing a sharp understanding of how to add value to both clients and the firm.

- Prepare disclosure statements, costs agreements, and engagement documentation.
- Maintain accurate trust account records and comply with professional obligations relating to trust money.
- Record billable work accurately and maintain organised electronic files.
- Assist senior lawyers on complex litigation and review matters.
- Work collaboratively with our legal and administrative team to ensure exceptional client outcomes.
- Contribute ideas to improve systems, efficiency, and the overall client experience.

with the ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
- Confidence communicating with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
- Strong commercial awareness and a professional, client-focused approach.
- An interest in business development, client relationship management, and contributing to the continued growth of the firm.
- The initiative to work independently while collaborating effectively within a close-knit team.
- A genuine desire to make a meaningful difference in clients’ lives.
- A willingness to learn, accept responsibility, and continually develop professionally.
