About the Role

This opportunity involves working directly for a pre-eminent insurance practitioner who has a strong focus on innovation, team culture, and the personal development of all staff. The team advises on complex and high-profile matters from litigation arising from the Royal Commission to significant D&O multi-party proceedings and professional indemnity matters for professionals across various industries.

The role will also involve working with other members of the team, including Senior Associates and Special Counsel. Our Sydney office currently has opportunities available for intelligent, ambitious, and motivated lawyers with minimum 4 years post-qualification experience to join our highly regarded insurance team as the practice continues to grow.

The role includes handling complex financial lines, professional indemnity, class actions, and director and officers (D&O) matters, both from a defence and coverage perspective. The role will also involve assisting one of the senior lawyers in relation to construction and engineering professional indemnity disputes as well as some commercial litigation matters.

This is a strong area of growth for our business. Our clients typically include large insurers (local and international), Lloyd's syndicates, and their insureds.

Key Skills & Experience

  • General insurance litigation, financial lines, professional indemnity (especially with a focus on construction and engineering claims), and director and officers (D&O) experience is preferred but not essential.
  • You may also have a general commercial litigation background, construction litigation background, and be interested in insurance.
  • Strong academic credentials, self-driven with excellent verbal and written communications skills.
  • Strong time management skills and ability to manage competing priorities effectively.
  • Demonstrated teamwork and collaboration skills, as well as the ability to work independently.
  • Commercial awareness and confidence in building a rapport with clients to gain a better understanding of their business' needs and with the assistance of the partner, actively developing these client relationships.
