The team is expanding in response to national growth, and this role offers the rare chance to be part of shaping the culture and direction of a new office from the outset.

You’ll work on a diverse and engaging range of matters, including public liability, historical abuse, and medical negligence claims, as well as Commonwealth Government insurance and risk work. Acting for a mix of major insurers, government agencies, and self-insured organisations, you’ll manage and progress your own files while learning from experienced specialists in general liability and health law.

The Partners leading the Canberra team are known for their hands-on, mentoring style, providing close guidance while encouraging independence and ownership. You’ll be part of a growing, collaborative team locally, supported by a national network of senior lawyers across multiple offices — giving you access to high-calibre work, strong peer support, and genuine career progression.

This role would suit a proactive, team-oriented lawyer who values autonomy, innovation, and flexibility. The firm takes a mature, outcomes-based approach to work, built on trust rather than time in the office, and offers genuine flexibility in how you structure your week — whether that’s working remotely, part-time, or non-traditional hours.

You’ll also enjoy a market-leading remuneration package — among the highest in the insurance law sector — along with a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing and professional growth. These include generous parental leave, the ability to purchase additional annual leave, home office support, and continuous learning and mentoring programs to help you reach your next career milestone.
