Job description

Commercial Litigation Lawyer - Associate or Senior Associate

Commercial & Construction Litigation | Interesting Work | Great Mentors | Beautiful Central Gold Coast Location

Ready to get closer to the action, learn from experienced litigators and take your career in a new direction?

If you're passionate about commercial and/or construction litigation, enjoy getting stuck into complex matters and want to work alongside senior lawyers who are generous with their knowledge and time, this opportunity deserves your attention.

Join a respected, modern and supportive Gold Coast law firm offering exposure to high-calibre commercial litigation and construction disputes on the Gold Coast, a genuinely collaborative team culture and real opportunities to develop professionally. This firm attracts the type of work you would see from a Brisbane firm, but right here on the stunning Gold Coast.

Experience in a litigation role is essential as the firm is ideally looking for a capable Associate or Senior Associate to join the team. If you're at Special Counsel level, the firm would also encourage you to apply as they can make this work.

The work: Challenging, varied and genuinely interesting

Forget being stuck doing the same thing every day. You'll have the opportunity to work across a diverse range of commercial litigation and construction disputes (only if this interests you), collaborating with experienced practitioners and contributing to matters that will stretch your skills and broaden your expertise.

Depending on your experience and seniority, your responsibilities may include:

• Managing litigation matters: Work across commercial disputes with responsibilities tailored to your experience.

• Developing legal strategies: Collaborate with senior lawyers and clients to identify practical approaches to dispute resolution.

• Getting into the detail: Undertake legal research, prepare court documents and correspondence, and prepare matters for mediation and court proceedings.

• Building client relationships: Communicate proactively with clients and colleagues, helping ensure matters progress efficiently and clients receive excellent service.

• Growing your expertise: Learn from experienced litigation Partners, contribute ideas and continue developing your technical and practical skills.

Who should apply?

We're keen to hear from candidates with recent, relevant experience in a litigation-focused environment. Ideally, you would already be at Associate or Senior Associate level, however, we will consider a Lawyer who has at least 3 years PAE and looking to progress to an Associate role.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Relevant experience in a commercial litigation-focused role.

• Experience in construction disputes is welcomed, but not essential.

• Strong technical and legal skills appropriate to your level.

• Clear, efficient communication and a proactive approach.

• A commitment to delivering excellent client service.

• Curiosity, initiative and a genuine appetite for learning and professional development.

On offer:

• Genuine flexibility: Enjoy flexible working arrangements, including working from home and flexible hours.

• Autonomy and ownership: Take responsibility for your matters and make a meaningful contribution to the practice.

• Career development: Continue building your expertise while supporting the growth of junior team members.

• Flexible location options: Gold Coast-based candidates are welcome, and Brisbane-based lawyers who are happy to commute to the Gold Coast a few days per week will also be considered.

• Team social events: Such as a yearly retreat trip and other team celebrations.
