We are seeking enthusiastic and high-performing Senior Litigators to join our Litigation and Legal Services team.

As a Senior Litigator, you’ll lead multiple complex taxation, administrative law and debt recovery litigation and dispute resolution cases, undertake detailed research, prepare high-quality court documents and correspondence, and advocate as required. You’ll manage relationships with internal and external legal stakeholders, represent the organisation in complex legal proceedings and hearings, and strategically advise on matters involving tax technical, debt recovery and administrative law.

In this challenging and rewarding role, you’ll provide high-level advice, navigate complex legal and policy issues, and contribute to the resolution of matters with significant business and client impacts.



You’ll draw on your strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify risks, manage competing priorities and deliver sound, evidence-based outcomes. You’ll mentor and supervise others as required, contributing to the development of capability within the team.

Success in this role requires a comprehensive understanding of the responsibilities of the position and the legislative, regulatory and compliance frameworks that underpin its work. You’ll bring sound judgement, resilience and a commitment to achieving fair, professional and timely outcomes in a dynamic legal environment.

These roles may be offered on an ongoing or non-ongoing basis in Adelaide, Brisbane CBD, Hobart, Melbourne CBD, Perth or Sydney CBD.

We embrace the strength of diversity – through our people and the perspectives they bring.
