Lawyer / Associate – Insurance & Complex Disputes

Our client is a leading full-service legal practice with a strong national presence and a heritage of nearly two centuries. Known for delivering commercial solutions to complex challenges, the firm combines legal excellence with a collaborative, inclusive culture and a strong focus on innovation, including the use of AI tools. The firm supports flexible working arrangements and offers a broad range of benefits.

The team specializes in complex liability, insurance, and regulatory matters, advising a diverse client base that includes insurers, corporate self-insurers, government entities, and private clients. The work spans both contentious and non-contentious matters, including insurance disputes and compliance issues.

This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer with 1–4 years' PQE to develop depth in the insurance and dispute resolution space within a supportive, high-performing team.

We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including those with diverse abilities, LGBTQ+ people, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We encourage applications from candidates who may not meet every criterion but are keen to grow into the role.
