Lawyer / Associate | Employment Law | Inner Brisbane

Up to $140,000 plus super | Flexible Work Environment

Build your employment law career with direct partner mentoring and a path to Senior Associate that doesn’t depend on a vacancy opening up.

We’re recruiting two lawyers for a specialist national firm expanding its Brisbane practice. Already in employment law, or looking to move across from litigation or workers compensation? This firm will invest in teaching you the specialism.

Training that builds your expertise

You’ll report directly to the Practice Leader whose expertise spans employment litigation, workplace investigations, discrimination, sexual harassment, award compliance and complex employee matters.

You’ll also work directly with partners across the firm, learning from different specialists and gaining exposure to employer advisory work, contracts, terminations, enterprise bargaining and union disputes.

Room to progress

Backed by private equity, the firm has ambitious expansion plans and is investing in its Brisbane team. That growth creates room for you to take on greater responsibility and advance your career.



There is no cap on Senior Associate positions, so your progression doesn’t depend on someone else leaving.

What you can expect

- Up to $140,000 + super.
- Direct partner supervision, practical training and ongoing mentoring.
- Opportunities to work with all partners across the firm.
- Versatile working, with three days a week in the Brisbane office.
- Varied employment law work, predominantly advising and representing employers, with additional work for senior executives, including C suite employees.
- No requirement to bring clients or generate business at Associate level.

Who we’re looking for

Ideally, you’ll have 2 to 5 years’ post admission experience in employment law, litigation or workers compensation. You’ll bring strong drafting skills, sound judgement and ownership of your work, with an interest in building your career in employment law.
