- to be admitted to practice as a Solicitor (in any area of law) in Australia or another jurisdiction in which HSF operates;
- 2-4 years' post admission experience with excellent research, technical and analytical skills;
- a proactive approach with the ability to adapt to competing demands in a fast-paced environment;
- a desire to work outside of traditional private practice in an alternative legal career;
- excellent communication skills and ability to demonstrate collegiality within a team;
- good commercial awareness.

About You
This role is suitable for someone who thrives in a busy and challenging environment, with a proven ability to critically analyse information and work through complex technical challenges.
