For the Senior Liability Lawyer Who Wants Ownership Without the Politics
You're experienced enough to run complex matters independently, but the environment you're in isn't giving you the autonomy or the culture to match. You want a team where the work is serious, the people are grounded and the path forward is clear.
The Firm
A national firm with a strong reputation in insurance and general liability. The practice works with a broad client base including insurers, brokers, underwriters, and corporate insureds, and has built a track record of results across Australia's liability landscape.
The Timing
The general liability team is active and well-resourced, led by five partners with a collaborative approach to practice. Staff turnover is genuinely low and long-service leave is commonly reached, which tells you something about the environment.
The Work Itself
You'll take carriage of complex public liability, product liability, and property damage claims from start to finish. That means drafting legal advice, briefing counsel, attending mediations and hearings, and delivering commercially sound strategy to clients who expect it. The client base spans insurers, brokers, underwriters, and corporate insureds, so the matters are varied and the stakes are real. You'll also play a role in developing junior lawyers within the team.
Where You'll Land
The culture is down-to-earth and genuinely collaborative, with individualism valued alongside teamwork. The firm runs structured career development including career planning discussions, a recognised mental health program, and health and wellbeing initiatives including social events and sporting activities. Flexible working is available and the firm has received industry recognition as an employer of choice.
Sound Like You?
You have 5 or more years of post-admission experience across a broad range of general liability matters. You write concisely, think analytically and can manage a complex file independently without losing sight of the commercial picture. You're looking for a firm where the culture reflects what it says on paper and where your work speaks for itself.
