Job description

Broad mix of defendant files inside a global firm. Insurers and underwriters as clients. Strong salary. Flexible work. Run your own matters.

  • Global law firm
  • $1b in revenue and growing
  • Be paid well and have fun while doing it

Most insurance files teach you one class of claim. This desk does not.

You will act for insurers and underwriters on the defence side inside a global law firm with a serious Australian insurance practice.

The book is mixed on purpose: public and product liability, personal injury, professional indemnity, property and recoveries, coverage questions, and the litigated files that follow when a claim will not settle.

You will not be parked on one panel product for three years. You will learn the file, the policy, the forum and the client.

What you will do?

  • Run a broad defendant caseload from first notification through resolution
  • Advise on liability, quantum, strategy and, where required, policy response
  • Draft advices, pleadings, correspondence and briefs that a claims manager can use
  • Appear at conferences, mediations and interlocutory hearings
  • Deal directly with insurer clients and, on the right files, the insured
  • Work with seniors on the larger, multi-party or high-value matters

Who this is for?

An ambitious and driven defendant (or plaintiff) lawyer with 2-8 years PQE.

What you get?

  • A strong salary for this market
  • Flexible, hybrid work as a normal way of running the practice
  • A global platform: Australian files with the reach of an international insurance practice, including work connected to local and overseas underwriters
  • A mixed diet of files so your advocacy, advisory and client skills all stay in use
  • Training, supervision and a path that does not depend on staying on one partner’s list forever
  • The ordinary professional supports that make a litigation job liveable: leave, wellbeing measures, and a team that still talks to each other
