About us

HWL Ebsworth is not your typical law firm. Our rapid rise to become the largest legal partnership in Australia shows that, in our case, the differences are real. We deliver first class legal advice to our commercial and government clients in every State and Territory across Australia. Firm wide, we have over 270 Partners and 1700 people.

The opportunity

Join our highly regarded Perth Litigation Team which provides legal services to local, national, and international companies (private and listed), government agencies, insurers, and high net worth individuals, on a wide and diverse range of disputes. The broad nature of the practice means you will have the opportunity to work on various matters, acting for both plaintiffs and defendants, and develop your experience across different jurisdictions, industries, and sectors, including:

  • complex contractual and commercial disputes;
  • statutory claims, including under the Australian Consumer Law, the Corporations Act, and ASIC Act;
  • professional negligence claims and directors and officers liability claims;
  • large value property damage claims;
  • insurance coverage advice and indemnity disputes;
  • regulatory and disciplinary investigations and prosecutions;
  • construction, mining, and resources disputes (including significant Australian infrastructure projects).

You will work directly with our Partner and Special Counsels, many of whom have developed their careers within the team. Given our national client coverage, there are opportunities to collaborate with colleagues in other states and territories, expanding your professional network and legal expertise.

Ideally, you might come with:

  • 3+ years PAE;
  • eagerness to contribute to the success of the team;
  • drive to work in a fast-paced and challenging disputes environment;
  • appetite for responsibility, proactive approach, and motivation to achieve exceptional results for clients;
  • ability to work autonomously and take ownership of assigned work;
  • professional and positive attitude to fit within our team;
  • strong practice management skills and attention to detail;
  • solid understanding of civil practice and procedure, particularly in the Supreme and District Courts of Western Australia.

What we offer:

Unrivalled career pathways: Our meritocracy model offers career development based solely on merit. Our size, range of experience, and competitive pricing will support your success. Our solicitor-to-partner ratio enables greater mentoring and client engagement. Our 180-day career forecasting sessions help fast-track your progression.

Location: Our modern office is located in the heart of Perth CBD, within a vibrant legal community. It features a gym, yoga studio, fitness classes, end-of-trip facilities, and onsite childcare. Join the Dexus Community for events, competitions, drycleaning, and more.

Culture: Be part of a firm known for its friendly, down-to-earth culture.

Prestige: Join a firm recognized at the forefront of the Australian legal market, with nationally acknowledged work.
