Job Description

Join our Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation Team

We are seeking a motivated and personable workers' compensation lawyer with approximately 2–3 years' post-admission experience to join our team in Sydney.

n

This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer looking to further develop their career in workers' compensation litigation within a supportive and professional environment. You will also have the opportunity to work with our public liability and insurance team.

n

About the Role

n

You will have the opportunity to work across a diverse range of NSW workers' compensation matters, managing files from initial advice through to resolution and, where appropriate, litigation.

n

We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience acting for applicants/plaintiffs and/or respondents/defendants. Candidates who have had exposure to both sides of workers' compensation litigation will be highly regarded.

n

Your responsibilities will include:

n

n
- Managing a portfolio of workers' compensation matters.
n
- Providing advice to clients regarding statutory benefits, work injury damages and related claims.
n
- Preparing correspondence, pleadings, submissions and other legal documents.
n
- Conducting negotiations and mediations.
n
- Appearing in the NSW Personal Injury Commission and other relevant forums.
n
- Liaising with insurers, employers, workers, medical practitioners and other stakeholders.
n




- Managing matters efficiently and maintaining strong client relationships.
n
- Working closely with senior lawyers and developing your technical and advocacy skills.
n

n

Ideally, you will have:

n

n
- 2–3 years' post-admission experience (PAE).
n
- Experience in NSW workers' compensation law.
n
- Experience acting for applicants/plaintiffs, defendants/respondents, or ideally both.
n
- A current NSW Practising Certificate.
n
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
n
- Excellent attention to detail and file-management skills.
n
- A genuine interest in workers' compensation and personal injury law.
n
- The ability to work independently while also contributing positively to a team.
n

n

Experience in both applicant and defendant work is highly desirable, although we are also happy to consider a strong candidate who has predominantly worked on one side and is interested in broadening their experience.

n

What We Offer

n

n
- A supportive and collaborative team environment.
n
- Exposure to a broad range of workers' compensation matters.
n
- The opportunity to work on both applicant and defendant matters.
n
- Mentoring and ongoing professional development.
n
- Genuine opportunities for career progression.
n
- Competitive remuneration commensurate with experience.
n
- Flexible working arrangements.
