Looking to take the next step in your employment law career with a firm that genuinely invests in its people?

Our client is seeking a Senior Associate or Special Counsel to join its high-performing Employment Relations & Safety team in Brisbane. This is an opportunity to work on complex, meaningful matters—particularly within the public sector—while being supported by a collaborative and down-to‑earth team.

What you’ll bring:

  • 5+ years’ PAE in employment/IR law
  • Strong experience across federal and Queensland IR frameworks
  • Background working with (or advising) government clients highly regarded
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach
  • A genuine interest in mentoring and contributing to team development

Why join this Team

You’ll be part of a firm known for doing high-quality work in a supportive, team-oriented environment—a big firm without the attitude.

  • High‑calibre clients and complex, engaging work
  • Strong focus on learning, development and career progression
  • Inclusive, values-driven culture with a genuine commitment to diversity
  • Health, wellbeing and social initiatives that support a balanced career

If you’re looking for a role where you can do meaningful work, grow your career and be part of a genuinely supportive team, this is worth exploring.
