A leading mid-tier firm with Doyle’s Guide-recognised Partners is seeking a strong Defendant Insurance Lawyer or Associate to join its Professional Indemnity team.

If you’re looking for high-quality, complex insurance work without the traditional top-tier grind, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for.

You’ll work alongside highly regarded Partners who have acted on some of Australia’s most complex and high-profile matters, including large-scale class actions, while enjoying a genuinely supportive culture that respects your life outside of work. You’ll gain exposure to complex and high-value disputes, including matters arising from the construction, financial services, professional services, healthcare and real estate sectors, as well as opportunities to work on complex coverage, indemnity and policy interpretation issues.

The team acts for a broad range of clients, including domestic and international insurers, Lloyd’s syndicates, underwriting agencies, captive insurers, affinity groups, self-insured entities and insurance brokers.

What is the work?
You’ll join an established Professional Liability team working across three key areas: Professional Indemnity, Directors & Officers (D&O;) and Management Liability, acting for a diverse range of professionals and organisations across Australia.

The team represents a broad client base, including insurers, underwriters, brokers, insureds, financial institutions, accountants and auditors, architects, engineers, financial advisers, trustees, directors and officers, barristers, solicitors, hospitals and medical and para-medical professionals.





The practice also works closely with the REIQ under its Skilled Indemnity Insurance Scheme, defending claims arising within the real estate industry, including matters involving resident unit managers.

There may also be opportunities to contribute to risk management, loss mitigation and policy drafting and interpretation, giving you broader exposure to the insurance industry beyond dispute resolution.

You’ll be encouraged to take genuine ownership of some matters and client relationships, while receiving hands-on mentoring and support from experienced Partners.
