About us

HWLE Lawyers is not your typical law firm. Our rapid rise to become the largest legal partnership in Australia shows that the differences are real. We deliver first class legal advice to our commercial and government clients in every state and territory across Australia. Firm wide, we have over 270 Partners and 1700 people.

The opportunity

We have an opportunity to join our highly regarded Canberra Insurance team. You will work on a diverse and engaging mix of insurance matters, with a particular focus on common law tort claims and statutory workers compensation and CTP claims.

Day to day, you'll be busy with:

  • direct client access;
  • close collaboration with Partners in a strong team environment;
  • supportive training and mentoring;
  • advisory work on coverage analysis, liability and potential non-disclosure and misrepresentation issues;
  • assisting insurers with claims disputes, investigations and complaints; and
  • advocacy in the courts and tribunals.

To succeed in this role, ideally you'll have

  • 3-6+ years post admission experience in insurance;
  • experience with litigation;
  • critical analysis skills in respect of expert reports, contracts and/or legislation and regulatory documents;
  • ability to draft clear and concise communications;
  • good interpersonal and communication skills in conversing with clients and other parties; and;
  • desire to develop your career and professional network in the Insurance industry.
