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.
