Special Counsel or Partner Role – Commercial Litigation & Insolvency

Akin to an In-House Role

Toorak Office

Fogarty Search is partnering with a growing boutique Melbourne firm to appoint an experienced senior lawyer to lead its litigation and insolvency practice.

The firm has built a reputation for robust, long-term client relationships and practical, commercially focused advice, and offers considerable autonomy to a senior lawyer looking to help shape and grow the practice as the firm continues to expand.

This opportunity will suit a motivated lawyer with at least 8 to 10+ years' PQE in commercial litigation, ideally gained in a well-regarded mid-tier, large or specialist commercial firm, with strong technical expertise in commercial disputes and insolvency.

This is a refreshingly different opportunity compared to others you'll see within private practice.



With an established team and client base, the aim here is to ensure excellent leadership and mentoring is provided to your colleagues and client confidence is maintained. It's about as close as you can get to an

in-house environment ; normal working hours and

no billable targets .

You'll actually be able to have an excellent level of

work/life balance

that will be unlikely to be matched in a law firm.

If you want to maintain a level of control in your life whilst working in a

modern legal practice

which will enable you to act without being micromanaged or having unrealistic budgets and BD expectations, this is a stand‑out opportunity.
