Job Description
Brisbane | National firm | Partner-led practice
Some litigation teams talk about being commercial.
This one proves it ...
by settling disputes clients actually care about.
We’re working with a national firm whose Brisbane disputes practice has built a reputation for
winning well : sharp strategy, strong judgement, and outcomes that clients remember (and come back for).
With a steady flow of work coming off a market-leading corporate practice, the team is busy — but importantly,
busy with good files , strong clients and sensible timeframes.
The work:
You’ll sit in a tight, two-partner practice and run a genuinely varied disputes practice, including matters such as:
Shareholder and joint venture disputes arising from mid-market and private equity transactions
Contractual disputes linked to M&A, earn-outs and failed deals
Insolvency-adjacent litigation and recovery actions
Corporations Act matters and director/shareholder claims
Strategic pre-litigation advice designed to resolve matters early (and often successfully)
This is a practice that
celebrates smart settlements
as much as courtroom wins — and clients love them for it.
The role:
This opportunity would suit an
Associate or Senior Associate
who:
Has between
2-7 years PAE
solid experience in commercial litigation or disputes
Enjoys running matters with a high degree of autonomy
Thinks commercially and values client relationships
Wants exposure to quality corporate-driven disputes without being siloed
You’ll work closely with partners who are hands-on, well-regarded in the market, and invested in developing their people.
The firm:
National platform with a strong Brisbane presence
Excellent workflow driven by a top-tier corporate practice
Genuinely
organic progression
— promotions are earned, not blocked
Collaborative culture (low ego, high trust)
Clients who value outcomes, not theatre
Remuneration:
Excellent base salary
(market-leading for the right candidate)
Performance bonuses
tied to contribution and outcomes
Clear pathway to progression across the firm nationally, if desired
If you’re a litigator who enjoys
interesting disputes, sensible strategy, and being recognised for results , this is a standout opportunity.
