What’s in it for you?

- Join a down-to-earth and genuinely enjoyable team where people work hard, support each other and enjoy coming to work.
- Have a real say in the type of experience you build. Want more construction disputes? Complex commercial litigation? Insolvency? Advocacy? The team is happy to help shape your workload around the areas you want to develop.
- Work closely with experienced practitioners who are happy to train, mentor and give you increasing responsibility as you progress.
- Enjoy a culture that values high-quality work without unnecessarily long hours. The team is supportive of having a genuine life outside the office.

About your new employer:

- Our client is an established Sydney law firm with a growing litigation practice and a reputation for delivering practical, commercially focused advice.
- The litigation team is friendly, team-oriented and genuinely invested in developing junior lawyers. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, they will work with you to understand the areas you enjoy and give you opportunities to build experience in those areas.
- You will be surrounded by experienced lawyers who are approachable, willing to teach and happy to give junior team members meaningful responsibility.

About the role:

You will work across a broad commercial litigation practice and be involved throughout the lifecycle of matters, including legal research, drafting pleadings and correspondence, preparing evidence, interlocutory applications, negotiations, mediations and court proceedings.

Your matters may include:

- Commercial and contractual disputes.
- Building and construction disputes.
- Insolvency and corporate recovery matters.
- Defamation matters.




- Court and tribunal proceedings.
- Mediations, negotiations and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

Importantly, you won’t be pigeonholed into one area. As you develop, the team is happy to give you greater exposure to the areas that genuinely interest you and help you build the kind of litigation practice you want long term.

The ideal candidate:

- 1–2 years’ PQE in litigation or a related practice area.
- Strong legal research, drafting and analytical skills.
- A commercial approach and strong attention to detail.
- The ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
- Confidence communicating with clients, colleagues and other stakeholders.
