Perth, Western Australia McWilliams Davis Lawyers Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

McWilliams Davis Lawyers is seeking motivated solicitors to join our specialised insurance defence team, focusing on compulsory third party (CTP) insurance claims. We have opportunities for both junior to mid-level practitioners and senior lawyers.

About McWilliams Davis Lawyers

McWilliams Davis Lawyers is a multi-partner boutique law firm that practices in property and commercial law, strata law, commercial litigation, insolvency, employment law and insurance law. We have offices located in the heart of Perth's CBD on St Georges Terrace, on the waterfront in Bunbury, and now in North Fremantle.

About the Role

As part of our dynamic insurance team, you'll primarily focus on defending CTP claims while having some opportunity to diversify into commercial transactions, litigation, and employment matters. You'll work alongside a respected and highly experienced Insurance Partner and team who will provide mentorship and guidance throughout your career development.

Junior to Mid-Level Position (2-5 years PAE):

  • Handle a diverse caseload ranging from simple to complex injury and dependency compensation claims
  • Develop skills in motor vehicle CTP accident claims from initial assessment through resolution
  • Draft legal opinions and pleadings with appropriate supervision and support

Senior Position (5+ years PAE):

  • Manage complex catastrophic injury and fatal accident claims with significant exposure to intricate liability and quantum issues
  • Autonomously manage your files with the ongoing support of our Insurance Partner
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior team members
  • Handle high-value and strategically important matters for our leading defendant insurer client
  • Tailor your court work involvement to your preferences - undertake as much or as little court work as you desire

Key Responsibilities (All Levels):

  • Defend injury and dependency compensation claims for a leading defendant insurer
  • Draft comprehensive legal opinions covering minor to catastrophic injury claims
  • Navigate liability and quantum issues, fatal accident dependency claims, and recovery matters
  • Work both independently and collaboratively within our highly respected team

Experience

Prior insurance defence experience is advantageous but not essential. We actively encourage plaintiff lawyers seeking a career transition to defence work to apply.

What We Offer

  • Competitive Compensation: Highly competitive salary package commensurate with experience
  • Work-Life Balance: Genuine commitment to flexible working arrangements and healthy work-life integration
  • Culture: Join a down-to-earth, collegial environment that values both professional excellence and personal wellbeing
  • Growth Opportunities: Comprehensive professional development support, opportunities for advancement within the firm, and exposure to high-profile and challenging matters
