long-standing Crown Law practitioners.
The team covers the full spectrum of workplace law, from industrial disputes, applications and union matters, to discrimination and harassment complaints, to WorkCover reviews and appeals. For a Senior Lawyer, this means exposure to a
wide variety of challenging, high-profile matters that have real impact across Queensland.

- Collaborative approach, with the ability to contribute to team capability and support peers.
