PQE Partners are exclusively representing a growing boutique litigation firm in Sydney, looking to appoint an experienced commercial litigator to join its expanding team.
Having partnered with the firm on several successful hires, including at Senior Associate level, we've developed a strong understanding of the practice, its people and what makes it an attractive place to build a career.
The firm has an established commercial litigation and insolvency practice, a growing pipeline of work and ambitious plans for the future.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on with matters, working directly with clients and having a genuine say in the direction of the practice. For the right person, there is also the potential for future equity participation as the firm continues to grow.

As Senior Associate, you will work closely with the firm’s founders and play a key role in advising clients across a broad range of disputes, including but not limited to:
- Complex commercial litigation matters, including debt recovery disputes
- Insolvency and restructuring litigation, acting for a range of stakeholders
- High-stakes disputes for corporate clients, SMEs,
and individuals
- Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers, helping to shape the next generation of the firm’s talent
- Developing client relationships and originating new matters, with support from the partners
About You
The ideal candidate will be a Senior Associate or a strong Associate ready to step up, with:
- 5+ years’ post-admission experience in commercial litigation and/or insolvency
- The ability to run matters with increasing autonomy
- A commercial mindset and confidence dealing directly with clients
- Robust advocacy and drafting skills
- An interest in being part of a growing boutique and contributing beyond pure fee-earning
What’s on Offer
This is a genuinely different opportunity to the traditional law firm pathway, offering:
- A clear trajectory as the firm continues to grow, with future equity potential
- Commission incentives on work you originate
- Direct exposure to founders and clients from day one
- A high-trust environment with real autonomy
- The opportunity to join a team where recent hires have integrated quickly and are already making a tangible impact
