Step away from billables. Step into impact.

The Public Trustee of Queensland is seeking an experienced litigation lawyer (5+ years PAE) to lead a small team delivering high-quality legal advice and litigation services that make a real difference in the lives of Queenslanders. This is a genuine in-house transition where you can apply your advocacy and strategic thinking to a diverse portfolio of matters - guiding a team, advising stakeholders, and influencing outcomes at an organisational level. You’ll still engage in complex legal problem-solving, but in an environment that values judgement, leadership, and public impact over billable hours.

Why you’ll love this role

- Variety of matters – From complex probate and succession disputes to trust, equity, property, and elder-law issues. No two days are the same.
- Lead and mentor – Supervise and develop junior lawyers and paralegals within a collaborative, collegiate legal team.
- True flexibility – 36.25-hour weeks, flex-time arrangements, and hybrid work options.
- Meaningful work – Provide advice that directly impacts vulnerable Queenslanders while maintaining professional independence and integrity.
- Attractive public-sector benefits – Excellent leave provisions, 12.75% super, job security, and structured career pathways.
- Supportive culture – Work with experienced senior lawyers who value collaboration, respect, and work-life balance.

About you

You’re an admitted solicitor with:

- Minimum 5 years PAE in litigation, dispute resolution or related areas (succession, equity, property or elder law)
- Experience managing or mentoring junior lawyers or paralegals
- Strong written and oral advocacy skills and the ability to handle complex, sensitive matters with professionalism and empathy
- Eligibility for a current practising certificate in Queensland

The Organisation

The Queensland Public Trustee (QPT) provides essential financial, trust, and estate services to the community, operating as one of the state’s most respected in-house legal teams.

The Customer Legal Services division acts for the QPT across a wide range of legal matters, representing the organisation before all courts and tribunals.
