Approach Consulting has partnered with one of Australia's best national firms to find an Associate (2-5 PQE).

You’ll step into a national, award‑winning insurance litigation practice celebrated for its workplace culture. With a genuine team environment (ACT / NSW), accessible senior lawyers, interesting work across institutional abuse, Comcover, public liability and motor vehicle accident portfolios, we’re proud to work with this firm as they choose to keep culture at the forefront.

About the Partner

The Canberra partner is a down‑to‑earth, commercially‑savvy insurance and government lawyer who genuinely prioritises mentoring, team engagement and a culture of collaboration. They’ve been with the firm since graduating, showing the true nature of progression and development opportunities available.

Frequently described as one of the best people to work with, this partner values people who take the work seriously, but don’t take themselves too seriously.

Under guidance, you’ll be part of a team that values open communication, mentorship and doing great work for insurer clients – within a culture of respect, fun and mutual support.

The Role

  • Drafting clear, commercially‑mindful advice to insurer clients
  • Managing your own matter‑load under guidance : running files through to resolution or court / tribunal, in collaboration with the Partner
  • Court and tribunal attendance, briefing counsel where appropriate
  • Meeting clear KPIs and practice standards : billing targets, file budget management, risk‑review deadlines, timely client communications, and efficient file workflow
  • Proactive issue‑spotting and being comfortable working at the interface of fact, medical evidence and legislation
  • Being a reliable, easy‑to‑get‑along‑with colleague : contributing to a positive team culture, enjoying collaboration, and not losing sight of the “people” side of practice

What we’re looking for

2‑5 PQE in insurance litigation or defence practice (public liability, motor vehicle / CTP, institutional abuse preferred but not strictly required). Litigation skills set ideal.

  • Strong written skills—you can craft an advice or position paper that is both legally sharp and commercially sensible
  • Excellent organisational skills : you juggle files, meet deadlines, adhere to budget / KPIs and you keep clients and seniors informed
  • You are pragmatic, collegial and enthusiastic about being part of a team
  • If you are interested in exploring the above opportunity, please reach out to Josh Holland on 0456 611 936 or josh@approachconsulting.com.au for a confidential discussion.
