If you share our passion for making a real difference in people's lives, we'd love to hear from you.


Why Join Elringtons?

  • A supportive and values-driven team that has your back
  • Exposure to a diverse range of litigation matters, including personal injury, medical negligence, employment law, and dispute resolution
  • Autonomy and mentorship tailored to your level of experience — whether you're stepping into an Associate role or consolidating your career as a Senior Associate
  • A collaborative, high-performing team who genuinely care — about clients and each other
  • The chance to do meaningful work that really matters — to us, and to your clients

What You'll Be Doing

Depending on your level of experience, you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Manage your own matters from start to resolution — with guidance or support where needed
  • Work across diverse areas: Comcare/EML (SRC Act) matters, employment disputes, professional discipline (AHPRA), coronial inquests, and medical negligence
  • Provide clear, empathetic legal advice to clients in vulnerable situations
  • Appear in courts, tribunals, and mediations, draft pleadings, and negotiate favourable outcomes
  • Collaborate with an experienced team committed to doing the right thing — and doing it exceptionally well

You Might Be
  • A Solicitor (3+ PQE) ready for more responsibility
  • An Associate looking to deepen your expertise and broaden your litigation experience
  • A Senior Associate seeking to build influence, mentor others, and expand your practice within a supportive environment
  • Experienced in one or more of our core areas: medical negligence, workers compensation (particularly Comcare/EML), or employment law
  • A strong communicator and compassionate advisor with a client-centred approach
  • Someone who brings care, commitment, and passion to every aspect of your work

Bonus Points For
  • Experience managing your own litigation files end-to-end
  • Familiarity with ACT and NSW jurisdictions
  • A collaborative, proactive mindset with an eye for detail and a team-first attitude
