  • 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
