You'll need:

- Admission in Australia with at least one year's experience as a lawyer
- Insurance litigation, property damage, construction or general litigation experience. Defendant side preferred but not essential at the junior end
- Comfortable using iManage or similar and recording time
- Wanting to run files rather than support them

You'll work directly with a Principal Lawyer who came across from one of Melbourne's leading insurance practices with the London markets group and is Best Lawyers Ones to Watch for insurance.

You'll be given your own files early.

That means drafting pleadings and advices, coverage and indemnity advice to insurers, briefing counsel, court appearances, and dealing with insurers, experts and the other side yourself.

Full training on the insurance side is given, so litigation experience matters more than where you've done it
