Sydney, New South Wales, Australia JTA Law Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year
About Us

JTA Law is a boutique firm with a big impact. We specialise in insurance law, complex claims, property and strata, business law, and commercial work. Our reputation is built on technical excellence, trusted relationships, and practical outcomes. With a client base ranging from multinational insurers and large corporations to small businesses and individuals, you'll be exposed to quality work that makes a difference.

We're proud of our culture — collaborative, professional and supportive. At JTA Law, you won't be just another number. You'll be part of a close-knit team where your skills are valued, your ideas are heard, and your career growth is a genuine priority.


The Opportunity

We're looking for a driven lawyer with at least 2 years PAE to join our growing team. Litigation experience will be highly regarded, but we're more interested in enthusiasm, adaptability and a willingness to grow.

The role centres on public and product liability work, giving you the chance to act for some of Australia's leading insurers. You'll run litigated and unlitigated matters, advise on liability, quantum and policy interpretation, and work across industries such as construction and strata. You'll also assist on recovery claims and complex indemnity issues, ensuring no two days are the same.

Keen to diversify? We can also offer exposure to commercial law — from drafting contracts to leasing, conveyancing and business transactions — so you can shape a career path that aligns with your interests.

Most importantly, you'll work closely with Principals and Senior Associates, receive real mentorship, and build confidence through direct client contact and responsibility from the outset.


What We're Looking For

We'd love to hear from you if you bring:

  • Minimum 2 years' PAE.
  • Experience in some or all of the key practice areas of insurance litigation.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and problem-solving ability.
  • Good time management and organisational skills.
  • A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm to learn.
  • A genuine interest in building relationships with clients.

Why Join Us?

At this stage in your career, you want more than just files — you want exposure, mentorship, and the chance to grow into the kind of lawyer you aspire to be. At JTA Law, that's exactly what you'll find.

We offer:

  • Hands-on work from day one.
  • Direct access to senior lawyers for guidance and support.
  • A variety of matters to keep you challenged and engaged.
  • A team culture that is approachable, inclusive and down-to-earth.
  • Flexibility, balance, and recognition for your contributions.

This is your chance to step into a role where you'll build your expertise, expand your skillset, and take your career to the next level in a supportive environment.

Hands-on litigation. Varied work. Real mentorship. Genuine growth.

How to apply: upload your cover note and CV. Alternatively, you can email your documents directly to our Business Manager, Paul Doig,

Please note: Only applicants with the right to work in Australia will be considered for this role. All applications will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Please also note: At this stage, we are inviting direct applications only. We will not engage the services of recruitment agencies for this role.
