With a heritage of almost 200 years, we are known for our excellence, and our authentic and enduring relationships with our clients, our people and our communities. Clients seek out MinterEllison to help them solve complex problems every day. We do this by our full-service legal offering and complementary consulting offering.

We offer opportunities to work on industry-leading mandates for top-tier clients, while being part of a high-performing and collaborative team that values excellence, diversity of thought, curiosity, and inclusion. We value our people and empower them to achieve their ambitions - with the support, trust and autonomy to grow their careers in meaningful ways.

We support sustainable ways of working regarding how, when and where you work and offer a wide range of social, financial and health benefits (see )

Your role
Our depth of local and national experience is clearly demonstrated by our national statutory compensation management team. In our Adelaide office, our team acts for the statutory insurer, ReturnToWorkSA and its claims agents.

We are currently looking for two enthusiastic lawyers with a willingness to learn to join our team of industry experts. You will gain access to direct Partner supervision with the opportunity to get involved in a range of litigation matters from the onset. The team prides itself on having a supportive and collaborative environment with great opportunities for progression and autonomy.

These fast paced and dynamic roles will require you to provide advice and representation in matters before the South Australian Employment Tribunal and on occasion in the Court of Appeal (SA).

We would consider junior lawyers without statutory compensation experience who have a genuine interest in advancing their litigation career.

We are looking for lawyers who:

  • are passionate with a genuine interest in building a successful, long term career in statutory compensation law;
  • possess sound time management skills and understand the importance of providing technically excellent advice in a timely manner;
  • are confident individuals who are comfortable with oral advocacy at conciliation and directions on a regular basis; and
  • are good team players who appreciate the importance of collegiality and collaboration.

How To Apply
We encourage applications from people of all ages, abilities, cultural backgrounds, genders (including trans or gender diverse), LGBTQ+ people and those with carer responsibilities. We particularly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply.

We prefer to connect with people directly, so please submit your CV by clicking on the 'Apply' button. We encourage all applications, including if you do not meet all the criteria listed for the role. Your application will also enable us to consider you for other opportunities that may be available at MinterEllison.

If you are currently a MinterEllison employee, please apply through the internal careers page.

If you would like further information, require any adjustments throughout the recruitment process or for a confidential discussion,
