Sydney, Australia Moray & Agnew Full time

About us

Moray & Agnew is one of Australia’s leading specialist insurance law firms with over 700 employees nationally. We have offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Newcastle, Perth and Cairns, and have an unrivalled reputation in our market. Over the last decade, the firm has tripled in size to support the growth of our Australian and international clients.

Moray & Agnew are proudly committed to fostering a flexible, inclusive and diverse environment for our employees. In 2020 we were named one of the 25 most attractive firms to work at in Australia, and with the fourth highest percentage of female Partners according to the AFR Law Partnership Survey as at July 2022, we were identified as Australia’s most female-friendly firm by the Australian Financial Review.

We are passionate about what we do and want you to be too. We value technical excellence and the ability to function independently or in a team. We offer a unique workplace culture and excellent opportunities to further your personal and professional development.

About the role

We have an exciting full-time opportunity in our Sydney General Insurance team for a Lawyer with 0-3 years’ PAE. The work will primarily relate to the defence of claims involving insurance coverage, public liability and litigation across Australia arising from all types of asbestos, silica and other dust exposures. This position will give you direct access to a Specialist Accredited Partner, recognised by Doyle’s Guide and Best Lawyers, and other senior practitioners. It is a wonderful opportunity for a junior lawyer looking to gain hands-on experience in a busy and friendly team.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will be an admitted lawyer with up to 3 years’ PAE, and experience in a litigation setting. Experience in dust disease litigation is not crucial, however your enthusiasm and willingness to learn will be highly regarded. If you are someone who enjoys a degree of autonomy whilst having the guidance of a supportive Partner, this could be the ideal role for you. We value your commitment to providing exceptional customer service to our clients, your enthusiasm and passion for the law, and a growth mindset. Some of the attributes we are also looking for include:

  • Exceptional organisational skills;
  • A mature and professional approach;
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication;
  • The ability to work well under pressure to meet deadlines; and
  • Self-confidence and initiative.

Culture & benefits of working with us

We celebrate diverse thinking and experiences. We encourage our employees to bring their true and authentic self to the workplace. To help support you in achieving this, we offer our employees a wide range of benefits and we are confident that you will find something to love at Morays:

  • Flexible working arrangements to help you balance your work and personal commitments.
  • Dress for your day because we trust our employees to make choices which appropriately represent the firm.
  • Continuous learning and development programs to ensure that you are always being challenged, engaged and encouraged to grow.
  • Health and wellness initiatives, including an Employee Assistance Program for yourself and your family, and corporate discounts at over 400 leading fitness and wellbeing brands across Australia.
  • Paid parental leave policy, and in addition, we are now accredited as a Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace.
  • Mentoring program to support your professional development.
  • Diversity, inclusion and equality – we have a comprehensive Diversity and Inclusion policy, and a number of employee reference groups (LGBTIQA+, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Gender, Parents & Caregivers, Mature Workers, and Health & Wellbeing) to ensure that the firm continues to live its values.

We welcome people of all backgrounds and identities to apply to this position. If this opportunity is attractive to you, please submit your cover letter, CV and academic transcript.

Moray & Agnew encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates. In the spirit of reconciliation Moray & Agnew acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

If you require any adjustments to participate in our recruitment process, please let us know in your application.
