The opportunity

The role would ideally suit a lawyer with five or more years’ post-admission experience who is confident running matters independently and enjoys the variety of a general civil practice.

Court work is a regular and genuine part of this position. You can expect to appear in a range of courts in South Australia and Western Australia, from directions hearings and settlement conferences through to trials.

- negotiate with opposing practitioners and insurers

About you

The ideal candidate will have:

- an unrestricted Australian practising certificate
- ideally five or more years’ post-admission experience, although we’ll consider candidates with less experience

- excellent organisation, with the ability to manage a busy court diary
- a willingness to work across different areas of law
