About KSC Claims
KSC Claims is a veteran-founded compensation advocacy firm committed to reshaping how veterans access justice and entitlements. As we move toward full legal practice status under Queensland's legal profession framework, we're seeking a QLS-compliant Legal Practice Director to lead our legal arm, ensure best-practice compliance, and help drive ethical, transparent, and effective outcomes for our veteran clients.

The Opportunity
We are seeking a qualified and experienced Legal Practitioner to be appointed as the Legal Practice Director (LPD) of our new incorporated legal practice (ILP), in accordance with the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld) and Queensland Law Society (QLS) regulations.

This is a foundational leadership role with high autonomy and influence, ideal for someone who wants to shape a purpose-driven firm from the ground up, while ensuring full compliance and risk governance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Hold legal responsibility for the conduct of the ILP, including compliance with the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld), Legal Profession Regulation 2017, and QLS rules

  • Work closely with the Managing Partners and Operations Team to register and set up the ILP under QLS guidelines

  • Ensure the firm complies with requirements around management of legal services, conflicts of interest, trust accounting (if applicable), and professional indemnity insurance

  • Oversee legal staff, supervise legal work, and ensure quality control across all legal services provided

  • Establish internal systems and policies to meet the QLS's appropriate management systems (AMS) benchmarks

  • Manage ethical risks, confidentiality, and client protections in all practice areas (primarily DVA-related compensation and administrative law matters)

  • Liaise with the QLS, Legal Services Commission, and other regulatory bodies where required

About You

  • Must hold an unrestricted Principal Practising Certificate in Queensland

  • Eligible and willing to be appointed as the Legal Practice Director of an Incorporated Legal Practice under the QLS framework

  • Minimum 5–7 years post-admission experience, ideally in administrative law, personal injury, compensation, or veteran entitlements

  • Strong working knowledge of professional obligations under QLS and relevant legislation

  • Experience setting up or running a legal practice, or taking on compliance and risk leadership roles in a firm

  • Genuine interest in social impact, veteran affairs, and improving access to justice for vulnerable populations

What We Offer

  • Full autonomy to build and lead the legal practice function of a fast-growing firm

  • Strong operational support, including an experienced Operations Manager and Managing Partner team

  • Competitive remuneration package with profit-share or equity opportunity

  • Flexible working arrangements, including WFH options and support for work-life balance

  • A direct impact on the lives of veterans and their families

Apply Now
This is more than just a job – it's a rare opportunity to lead a firm committed to real reform and advocacy. If you're ready to lead with integrity and help shape a truly ethical and compliant practice from the ground up, apply now with a CV and brief cover letter outlining your suitability.
