Litigation Lawyer - Specialist Commercial Firm

Litigation Lawyer - Specialist Commercial Firm

Who we are

We are a specialist commercial firm based in Barangaroo, Sydney's premier commercial precinct. We do not chase volume. We deliberately keep a select client portfolio so our lawyers can work as genuine, embedded advisors on matters that actually matter. If you have sat in a team where you were three degrees removed from the client and the real strategy, this role is opposite.

The work

This is a junior role, but not an entry-level one. You will already have some grounding in commercial litigation, insolvency, property and construction disputes or commercial/corporate advisory work, and you are ready to take on real carriage of matters, not just document review. You will:

• Manage the day-to-day conduct of a caseload of commercial matters and disputes, with senior support close at hand, not at a distance.

• Draft pleadings, affidavits and correspondence.

• Get in front of Courts and Tribunals, not just watch from the second row.

• Work directly with a Director, Special Counsel and Senior Associate who will actually teach you, not just delegate to you.

• Pick up exposure to contractual and transactional work alongside your litigation matters, so your commercial judgment develops faster than it would in a pure-litigation role.

• Contribute to strategic, commercially astute advice on complex and high-stakes disputes from early in your career.

What you bring

• Some post-qualification experience in commercial litigation, general commercial/corporate advisory (this is a junior role, not a graduate one, so you should already be comfortable with the basics of opening and running a file).

• Admission as a solicitor in the Supreme Court of NSW and a current practising certificate.

• Strong written and verbal communication.

• The judgment to work autonomously and the honesty to ask when you should not.

• Genuine attention to detail.

What is on offer

• Deliberate mentorship from colleagues who are invested in your development.

• Genuine exposure to complex, high-value disputes and related contractual work, not repetitive volume matters.

• A collaborative team and a culture that is built on getting the work done properly then going home. We do not manufacture long hours as a badge of honour. Effort here is measured in the quality of your work, not the time your light is on.

If this sounds like the kind of environment where you would thrive, we would like to hear from you.
