Litigation Lawyer - 2+ PQE

Ready to take your litigation career up a gear? This boutique powerhouse specialises in top-tier building and construction disputes, representing builders, homeowners, and developers in headline worthy, multi party matters. We’re on the lookout for a lawyer or associate to join a high performing team led by one of the most respected names in the industry.

You’ll be immersed in complex, stimulating work from day one; think domestic building disputes, commercial claims, SOP matters, insolvency issues, and Owners Corporation litigation. After a well structured training period, you’ll have the autonomy to run your own matters, appear in VCAT and the courts, brief barristers, and build meaningful client relationships.

If you’re ambitious, curious, and keen to sharpen your advocacy skills in real world settings, this is a rare opportunity to gain exposure to substantial, high value litigation while being supported every step of the way.

• Draft court documents, conduct research, and provide pragmatic, strategic advice
• Work closely with the partner on complex, multi-party disputes
• Engage in ongoing CPD and industry training (100% covered by the firm)
• Build strong, trusted relationships with clients, barristers, and stakeholders

Candidate Requirements

• 2+ years PQE in building & construction or commercial litigation
• A genuine interest to build your career in building & construction litigation
• Experience in VCAT, County, or Supreme Court matters
• Confident working directly with builders, homeowners, and multi-party disputes
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage files independently
• Proactive, ambitious, and keen to learn from a leading industry figure
• Excellent communication and client facing skills

Office & Team Culture

• Warm, collaborative, and genuinely supportive environment
• Clear long term growth pathways - many staff step into senior roles, or move on to leading firms
• A team known for strong professional relationships and a positive culture
• Modern office with flexible WFH options
