Job description

Referment is working with an established Australian litigation practice that is continuing to build its class-actions capability. The firm represents individuals in complex disputes and is seeking a solicitor to help manage and advance class-action matters from its Sydney team.

You will work across the life of a matter, combining detailed legal analysis and drafting with client communication, case coordination and advocacy. This is a hands-on role that offers substantive responsibility for the day-to-day progression of litigation while working alongside other solicitors, external counsel and relevant stakeholders.

The Role

• Manage and progress domestic class-action litigation from initial case development through resolution.
• Research legislation, authorities and emerging legal developments to support case strategy.
• Perform hands-on drafting and review of pleadings, motions, settlement agreements and other court documents.
• Coordinate clearly with clients, stakeholders and external counsel throughout each matter.
• Represent clients in court hearings and settlement negotiations where appropriate.
• Manage competing case priorities while maintaining accurate, well-organised files.
• Provide practical support and mentoring to junior solicitors and legal staff.

What We're Looking For

• Admission to practise as a solicitor in New South Wales.
• An LLB or equivalent legal qualification.
• Recent, hands-on experience in domestic Australian litigation or class actions, ideally gained within a traditional law firm associate role.
• Demonstrated experience in the life of a matter, with specific expertise in drafting pleadings, motions and procedural court documents.
• Strong legal research, analysis and problem-solving skills.
• Clear, persuasive written and verbal communication.
• Confidence using legal research tools and case-management software.

This could suit a litigation solicitor looking to specialise more deeply in class actions, as well as someone already working in class‑action practice who wants broader involvement across case strategy, drafting, advocacy and client management. This position is designed for a practitioner who enjoys being at the coal-face of litigation and is seeking a role focused on active case progression and legal drafting.
