We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Lawyer or Associate to join our highly regarded Statutory Insurance team in Brisbane.

At Hall & Wilcox we have a pre-eminent workers’ compensation practice and we are one of the only firms to act for all statutory schemes across Australia.

  • acting in institutional conduct abuse claims; and
  • other personal injury and general liability claims as they arise.

About you

You will ideally have the following skills and experience:

  • between 3 and 4 years of post-admission experience from a defendant insurance law firm;
  • experience working with a WorkCover Qld panel law firm will be highly regarded;
  • experience in managing workers’ compensation or personal injury claims from end-to-end;
  • experience in the day-to-day management of files, and in running matters through court proceedings;
  • a proactive nature and the ability to work autonomously and as part of a team;
  • excellent technical, analytical and drafting skills with a keen attention to detail;
  • excellent verbal and written communication skills; and
  • the ability to organise and prioritise effectively.
