    About the team

    You will be working with some of the most highly regarded marine & shipping practitioners in the Australian market consistently ranked at the top of the industry by the world's leading legal directories.

    The successful applicant will be advising legal counsel, senior executives and their companies' insurers on challenging and often high-profile matters, both domestically and internationally.

    We are open to hearing from people with extensive complex commercial litigation experience. The size of some of the litigious matters means that you will be heavily involved in a 'national team' environment and therefore sharing of knowledge, team inclusion, accountability and a track record of success as a team player are key requirements.

  • Supervising Discovery: Superior skills related to managing e-discovery and electronic data collection in the context of large, complex litigation. You will oversee large scale doc review to elicit key information, and effectively train juniors and guide processes.
  • Communication: Clear and effective communication is essential, both in conveying legal advice to clients and in negotiating with opposing parties.

    • Candidate profile

  • Suitable candidates will be Australian or dual qualified and have experience gained in an international or leading national firm.
  • Candidates will have minimum 5 years' post qualification experience.
  • Proven experience working on litigation matters within the Supreme and Federal Courts, and a commitment to technical excellence.
  • Class action experience and ideally marine, international trade and/or transport experience, though that isn't essential.
  • Proven capability managing e-discovery and electronic data collection in the context of large, complex litigation.
  • Ability to juggle a range of tasks and prioritise effectively to role model and instill similar work habits in more junior team members.
  • Clear commercial understanding and outcome driven approach with a desire to deliver the highest quality service and advice to leading international clients.
  • Pro-active critical and problem-solving skills to not only support the team's work but to also find creative new solutions.
  • Strong technical legal skills and exceptional service delivery to provide timely responses to internal/external clients.
  • Proven ability to work as part of a team with varying levels of responsibility and supervision depending upon the matter.
  • A keen interest in the development of yourself and those less senior as lawyers, and confidence to assist the team to develop client relationships.
  • The desire to work on challenging matters and thrive in a high performing team environment.
