National Mid-Tier Firm | Landmark Commonwealth Litigation | 26 Weeks’ Paid Parental Leave

Join a highly regarded national firm and become part of a substantial litigation practice acting on significant government, regulatory and commercial disputes.
This is a rare opportunity to work on one of the largest Commonwealth Government actions ever commenced, with the matter already well advanced through the court process.

You’ll join the team at a pivotal stage of the litigation, working alongside experienced practitioners on a complex matter expected to continue for several years, while gaining broader exposure to sophisticated government and regulatory disputes.

The Opportunity
Working within a large national disputes team, you’ll collaborate with lawyers across multiple offices while developing valuable expertise across government, regulatory and commercial litigation.
Your work will include:

- A landmark Commonwealth Government action
- Complex commercial and regulatory disputes
- Government and public interest litigation
- Large-scale document review and evidence analysis
- Witness preparation and evidence management
- Coordinating expert and lay witnesses across Australia and internationally
- Legal research, drafting and strategic litigation support

Alongside this major matter, you’ll gain exposure to a diverse disputes practice, including:

- Regulatory investigations, including competition matters
- Judicial review proceedings
- Administrative law and statutory interpretation
- Regulatory disputes and compliance
- Privacy, confidentiality and information-sharing disputes
- Right to Information and privilege matters




- Public sector advisory work for State and Commonwealth Government clients

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

- Rare opportunity to work on a landmark matter with significant CV value
- Opportunity to develop expertise in government and administrative law, with no prior experience required
- National collaboration with experienced litigators across multiple offices
- Genuine autonomy balanced with strong mentoring and support
- 26 weeks’ paid parental leave, including superannuation, with no qualifying period
- Flexible working arrangements
- Paid study assistance and study leave
- Formal mentoring program with mentors outside your immediate team
- Health and wellbeing initiatives, including gym discounts, flu vaccinations, fresh fruit and sporting activities
- Highly social culture with regular team lunches, trivia, celebrations and networking events
