Lawyer: Litigation (Dispute Resolution)

Job Description

What’s in it for you?

• Quality work with a 6 billable hour day: work on strong commercial disputes for institutional and substantial private clients, without the usual larger firm hours.
• A growing Perth team: the office is continuing to grow and is not overly layered, giving you better visibility, more responsibility and room to step up.
• National firm backing, local team feel: you will have the systems, client base and support of a larger firm, while working closely with Partners and senior lawyers in a collaborative Perth team.

About your new employer:

• This is a well regarded national firm with a growing Perth office and a commercial litigation team that has a strong reputation in the Australian legal market.
• The appeal of this role is fairly straightforward: good quality commercial litigation, a 6 billable hour day, close access to senior lawyers and a team that is not so top-heavy that progression feels blocked.
• The firm has built a genuinely commercial, down to earth culture where lawyers are trusted, supported and given room to develop.
• They pay above market (top tier salaries), has a strong national platform and is a good option for someone who wants the quality of a larger firm without the same level of internal roadblocks.

The work will include:

• Commercial disputes for institutional and substantial private clients
• Drafting pleadings, correspondence, court documents and advice
• Legal research and assisting with matter strategy
