Commercial Litigation Lawyer/Associate

The Firm

This specialist commercial and litigation firm based in the Brisbane CBD is seeking a talented and commercially savvy litigation lawyer. Having had their most profitable end of year, the team are servicing the rapid growth of its astonishingly high-quality practice. 
  
This is not your average boutique firm.  It is a “boutique” in the true sense of the word – specialised, focused, and run by partners at the very top of their game.  It has built a stellar reputation on top-drawer referrals, to the point where it is routinely turning work away that does not interest them.

Servicing matters that are worthy of a top tier team, you will work with some of Brisbane's most talented litigators.  You will be given a great deal of autonomy if you can demonstrate your litigation skills and business acumen.
Many of the staff that work in this team liken it to a chambers style environment, perfect for those who have future aspirations to go to the BAR.

If you are a sharp and ambitious litigator who is hungry for the best possible mentorship and matters you can wrap your hands around, this is not an opportunity to be missed!

The Role

Working for a young and talented Partner, this is a position in which you will be challenged to deliver work of the highest quality.  This is not penny-ante debt collection drudgery; clients straddle a range of industries, and engage the firm for a simple reason – to get complex legal disputes resolved favourably and time-effectively.
  
To be successful, you will need to be:

• Highly intelligent - in a commercial sense as well as technically
• Between 1 and 5 years post-admission
• Exceptional drafting skills
• Experienced in commercial litigation, or potentially coming from an specialist back-end area such as construction or insurance litigation
• Eager to learn from the best and develop your skills to the next level
• Willing to provide one or two examples of your work if required

The Partners have made it clear that a background in a major firm is far from essential, and evidence of a talented legal mind will be regarded more highly in candidates than any other quality. 

The firm is looking for bright, ambitious litigators and is prepared to pay well for them, having made significantly above-market offers to their most recent hires.  Progression opportunities are abundant and obstacle-free for high-performers.
