Senior Associate Employment Lawyer
1 day ago
This is a great opportunity for a Senior Associate to join one of Melbourne's most highly regarded Employment, Industrial Relations, and Workplace Safety practices, recognised nationally for advising on complex and high-profile workplace matters.
You'll work across the full spectrum of employment law — from litigation and advisory through to transactional employment issues. The team's work spans unfair dismissal, discrimination and general protections claims, enterprise bargaining, work health and safety investigations, and responses to regulators. You'll also advise on corporate employment issues, workplace investigations, and executive employment arrangements for clients in sectors including health, sport, construction, banking, and education.
The team is collaborative and well-balanced, with multiple Partners recognised in major legal directories for their strength in both contentious and non-contentious employment matters. You'll work directly with them on significant files while maintaining the autonomy to run your own matters and mentor junior lawyers. The Partners are known for their hands-on, approachable leadership style, offering guidance that accelerates both your technical and commercial development.
This is a growth-focused role that would suit a proactive and adaptable lawyer who enjoys variety and wants to strengthen both their advocacy and transactional expertise. You'll be encouraged to engage directly with clients, shape strategies, and contribute to business development initiatives as your confidence grows.
Flexible working is genuinely supported, and the firm offers excellent benefits including paid parental leave, salary continuance insurance, and opportunities to participate in pro bono and community programs. With clear pathways for progression and the support of respected mentors, this is an environment where your career can flourish.
