Early in your Employment Law career and looking for a Partner who will genuinely invest in your development? We're looking for a junior Employment Lawyer to join the Sydney office of a highly regarded Australian law firm, offering the opportunity to work directly alongside an exceptional Employment & Workplace Relations Partner.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a lawyer with approximately 18 months to 2 years' PAE who wants greater involvement in matters, direct client exposure and the kind of mentoring that can make a real difference early in their career.
The Opportunity
You'll join a collaborative Employment & Workplace Relations practice advising an impressive client base of Australian and international businesses, together with public sector employers.
Working closely with a highly experienced Partner, you'll gain exposure to a broad mix of contentious and non-contentious Employment Law matters, with a particular emphasis on advisory work.
Your experience will include:
- Employment contracts, policies and workplace advice
- Workplace relations and industrial relations matters
- Managing complex employee and executive issues
- Workplace disputes and litigation
- Employment aspects of corporate transactions
- Advising employers on workforce management and compliance
- Supporting clients with broader employment and workplace matters
Importantly, you won't be sitting on the sidelines. You'll have the opportunity to become actively involved in matters, engage directly with clients and build your confidence as a developing Employment Lawyer.
About You
To be considered for this opportunity, you will bring 1 to 2 years' PAE,
with solid experience practising in Australian Employment Law. We're also open to hearing from junior lawyers whose experience hasn't been exclusively Employment Law, provided you've spent a substantial portion of your time working in the area and are now keen to specialise.
You'll bring well developed drafting and communication skills, a genuine interest in Employment & Workplace Relations and a proactive approach to learning.
Above all, we're looking for someone who values mentoring, enjoys being part of a cooperative team and is enthusiastic about developing a long-term career in Employment Law.
Why Make the Move?
- Generous salary package depending on experience
- Two days working from home each week
- Direct mentoring from a truly great Partner to work with
- Early client contact and in-depth matter involvement
- Work on both the front and back ends of Employment & Workplace Relations Law
- Work with Australian and international corporate clients
- Supportive team with excellent learning opportunities
- Regular social events and employee recognition programs
- Strong commitment to pro bono and community involvement
For a junior Employment Lawyer who wants to learn from someone exceptional, build strong technical foundations and become a genuinely valued member of a practice, this is an opportunity well worth exploring.
