The Opportunity


An exciting opportunity awaits you as a solicitor in our insurance team. We are currently looking for a solicitor to join us in our Brisbane office, with high-quality work on offer in the liability and general insurance space with a focus on personal injury. If you like the sound of working with blue chip insurer clients alongside preeminent leaders in the industry – we might be a perfect match.


About Us


We are Barry Nilsson, a specialist national mid-tier law firm with a 60+ year history and over 440 staff. We don't practice in everything, just in what we know (and what we know well), which is insurance & health, family law, and wills & estates.


We have plenty of accolades under our belt from industry bodies for our expertise and client service, but most importantly, we are proud to be recognised for our commitment to our people after being named an Employer of Choice for the last five consecutive years by Australasian Lawyer. Our people describe us as approachable, collaborative, professional, and most importantly, down to earth.


The Role


The role that is available is in a large established team headed up by principals Peter Murdoch and Megan Daniel.


About You


We would love to hear from you if you have the following skills, experience, and attributes:



  • 2+ years PAE;
  • Previous public liability experience (defendant);
  • Ability to manage your own file load and assist others with files under supervision;
  • Ability to build strong client relationships with a focus on client service;
  • Strong communication skills; and
  • Collaborative and pragmatic approach.

The Benefits


Flexible working arrangements are on offer to everyone. Performance bonuses (that are actually in reach) are available. Brand new purpose-built offices provide a relaxed office environment where you can “dress for your day”. A yearly health & wellbeing allowance and leave are provided. Paid parental leave for all parents is also available. The ability to get involved in pro bono work and community support is offered.


How to Apply


If it sounds like we are ticking a lot of your boxes, we would be really keen to hear from you. Click “Apply Now” to submit your application to our People & Culture Officer, Amy Smith.


At Barry Nilsson, we’re dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment that celebrates diversity. We welcome applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability, or ethnicity. We aim to build a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and supported.
