The role will see you involved in a wide spectrum of employment and industrial relations matters. You’ll act in high-stakes litigation, giving you early exposure to complex disputes that shape the direction of employment law across Australia. As well as advising on issues such as organisational restructures, enterprise bargaining, executive contracts and remuneration, workplace investigations, and the protection of confidential information and restraints of trade.
As a Legal Recruitment specialist with over 20 years experience I can guarantee your application is in good hands. The market is small and confidentiality is key. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have about this position or to discuss other options currently available in the market.
Career progression is based on meritocracy (really) rather than 'post-admission experience'. There is no old-boys club here, so this position would suit an experienced and ambitious practitioner who is performing above their years' experience, who is looking for an environment where they will be recognised and rewarded for the quality and value they bring to the team, and to enjoy a faster career progression than in a traditional firm.
This is a great opportunity for an Employment Lawyer with 1 year PAE to join one of Melbourne’s most highly regarded Workplace Relations practices. You’ll work closely with two young, dynamic Partners who are both outstanding technical lawyers and genuinely invested in mentoring the next generation.
This team’s culture is collaborative and energetic. You’ll have direct access to Partners who are approachable and down-to-earth, and who lead by example. There is also a strong team of Senior Associates available for you to bounce off on matters. The focus is on developing well-rounded employment lawyers who can think laterally, adapt to complex problems, and provide solutions that cut through.
You’ll also gain exposure to international work, advising international enterprises and individuals with interests in Australia. The practice has long-standing relationships with major funds, financial institutions, law firms and professional advisers across the globe, giving you the chance to develop experience in matters with a cross-border dimension.
