About LOD

LOD is the leading flexible legal service provider across ten locations: Brisbane, Hong Kong, London, Melbourne, New York, Perth, Singapore, Dubai, Munich and Sydney. We are changing the way in which clients buy legal services and provide talented lawyers with a new way of working.

We've achieved some of the fastest growth in our sector by creating and leading a new professional service category. That growth continues as we launch new services, responding to the way our lawyers want to work and clients want to engage them. This role offers an opportunity to be part of this story.

Why Join LOD?

People come to us for a whole range of reasons – they might be looking for time for their interests, for work alongside other projects, or just want a change. What they all have in common is a desire for high quality work coupled with a degree of control that traditional models can't offer, but LOD can. All of our LODs have worked at top tier firms or as part of major in-house teams. We only accept a small percentage of applications as we choose lawyers who are not only technically excellent, but who can work seamlessly with our client's teams. This ensures we can offer our lawyers consistently high-quality assignments.

We can offer

  • Training and know-how, as well as support from our dedicated HQ Team.
  • A variety of flexible models that include working at the client's offices or remotely
  • Varied, challenging, career-enhancing work with market leading brands (from Google to Barclays, and Amex to adidas) as well as exciting growth companies.
  • Flexibility and autonomy: you can work anything from full-time on site with a client to a few hours each week from home.

Who are we looking for?

We're partnering with a highly regarded Melbourne law firm seeking an experienced Public Liability/Personal Injury litigator to join their Recoveries team. This role sits within a specialist practice acting on complex accident compensation matters, with a strong focus on recovery actions against public liability insurers. You'll step into a busy, sophisticated client environment and handle technically challenging litigation involving workplace incidents, third-party negligence, and insurer recoveries.

Ideal for a senior lawyer (5+ PQE) with a background in insurance litigation, public liability, personal injury, or recoveries work. Full-time or near full-time, with an immediate start.

Key Requirements:

  • Minimum 5 years' PQE in insurance litigation, personal injury, public liability, or defendant-side recoveries
  • Strong experience running litigated matters end-to-end
  • Familiarity with WorkCover / WorkSafe matters highly regarded
  • Confident in managing complex evidence, liability issues, and insurer-driven strategy
  • Ability to liaise with sophisticated government and insurer clients
  • Based in Melbourne and available to start ASAP

LOD is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Diversity and inclusion is a core part of our Ways of Working, and we celebrate and embrace it. We know the individual differences of our people make us collectively better and we encourage all applicants; including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, career breaks, gender diverse, LGBTQIA, and culturally diverse communities to join us so we can do great things together.
