Sydney, New South Wales, Australia The Nudge Group Full time $80,000 - $160,000 per year

If you're a litigation lawyer in a large top-tier or global firm, working on huge matters but feeling like a small cog in a very big machine, this might just be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're partnering with a highly respected
Sydney-based boutique commercial firm
that consistently punches above its weight — working on major, complex litigation across corporate, commercial, property, and regulatory disputes. Their partners are hands-on, their clients are sophisticated, and their culture is genuinely supportive and collegiate.

This is the perfect environment for a Senior Associate (around
5–8 years PQE
) who's ready for
more visibility, more responsibility, and more impact
.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Running complex commercial and corporate litigation matters in the Supreme and Federal Courts.
  • Working directly with partners who are deeply involved in strategy and client engagement.
  • Managing files with autonomy and being trusted to lead key aspects of high-value disputes.
  • Collaborating with a close-knit team where your ideas are heard and your work is recognised.

Who You Are

  • You have around 5–8 years PQE in litigation or dispute resolution, ideally from a top-tier or leading national firm.
  • You're commercially savvy and love the cut and thrust of high-stakes litigation.
  • You're ambitious — but you've realised that progression doesn't always mean going
    bigger
    .
  • You're ready to trade the bureaucracy of big law for a place where you can actually make a difference.

Why This Firm

  • A boutique firm with a
    premium client base
    and exposure to major deals — without the layers of hierarchy.
  • Recognised nationally for the quality of its disputes work and trusted by larger firms for referrals.
  • A culture that balances excellence with approachability — where partnership is accessible, not abstract.
  • Stunning Sydney CBD offices, with flexibility and a leadership team that genuinely values balance.

What's Next

If you're ready to join a firm where your contribution actually matters — where you'll work on premium cases and get genuine exposure to partners and clients — we'd love to talk.
