You've built strong experience in insurance, property damage or indemnity work. The technical credentials are there. But you're ready for a role where the complexity is genuine, the leadership is real and the path forward is clear.
This is a Senior Associate to Special Counsel opportunity within a nationally recognised insurance practice for a lawyer who is ready to step into the most senior position below partner in a well-established Brisbane team.
The Firm
This is a leading national practice with a specialist insurance capability that is well regarded across the market. The Brisbane team is closely knit, continuing to grow and backed by a strong pipeline of complex, high-value work. It is a firm that invests in its people and takes culture seriously.
The Timing
The team is growing and the work demands a senior lawyer who can contribute meaningfully from day one. This is not a role for someone who wants to ease in. It is a role for someone who is ready to lead.
The Work Itself
No two matters look exactly the same. One day, you might be working with a major insurer on a significant property recovery arising from a large-scale commercial loss; the next, advising on a complex indemnity dispute or defending a substantial property damage claim. The work is high-value, varied and often involves multiple stakeholders, experts and counsel.
You'll have carriage of your own matters from strategy through to resolution, working directly with sophisticated insurer clients and taking a lead role in managing litigation. That includes developing case strategy, preparing evidence, briefing experts and counsel, conferencing with witnesses, drafting court documents and client advice, and appearing in court where appropriate.
You will also play an important role within the team, providing guidance to junior lawyers and overseeing a dedicated paralegal function. The role offers genuine autonomy, strong client exposure and the opportunity to become a trusted adviser to a premium insurer client base.
Where You'll Land
A 14-person team led by a highly regarded partner with a collaborative, supportive culture. Hybrid working with one team day per week, a $500 home office setup allowance, up to 26 weeks paid parental leave, birthday leave, corporate discounts, free daily breakfast and Friday night drinks. A potential sign-on bonus for the right candidate.
Sound Like You?
A Senior Associate or Special Counsel with 5+ years PAE in insurance, property damage or indemnity work. Large loss recovery experience highly regarded. Commercial litigators with a genuine appetite to transition into insurance are also considered.
