Referment is working with an established Australian litigation practice that is continuing to build its class-actions capability. The firm represents individuals in complex disputes and is seeking a solicitor to help manage and advance class-action matters from its Sydney team.

You will work across the life of a matter, combining detailed legal analysis and drafting with client communication, case coordination and advocacy. This is a hands-on role that offers substantive responsibility for the day-to-day progression of litigation while working alongside other solicitors, external counsel and relevant stakeholders.

The Role

- Manage and progress domestic class-action litigation from initial case development through resolution.

- Research legislation, authorities and emerging legal developments to support case strategy.

- Perform hands-on drafting and review of pleadings, motions, settlement agreements and other court documents.

- Coordinate clearly with clients, stakeholders and external counsel throughout each matter.

- Represent clients in court hearings and settlement negotiations where appropriate.

- Manage competing case priorities while maintaining accurate, well-organised files.





- Provide practical support and mentoring to junior solicitors and legal staff.

What We're Looking For

- Admission to practise as a solicitor in New South Wales.

- An LLB or equivalent legal qualification.

- Recent, hands-on experience in domestic Australian litigation or class actions, ideally gained within a traditional law firm associate role.

- Demonstrated experience in the life of a matter, with specific expertise in drafting pleadings, motions and procedural court documents.

- Robust legal research, analysis and problem-solving skills.

- Clear, persuasive written and verbal communication.

- Confidence using legal research tools and case-management software.

This could suit a litigation solicitor looking to specialise more deeply in class actions, as well as someone already working in class-action practice who wants broader involvement across case strategy, drafting, advocacy and client management. This position is designed for a practitioner who enjoys being at the coal-face of litigation and is seeking a role focused on active case progression and legal drafting.
