- Melbourne CBD & Inner Suburbs
- Permanent / Full Time
A high performing and fast growing Class Actions team is looking for a talented Lawyer to join at a genuinely exciting point in its trajectory. This is your chance to move beyond the traditional law firm model and step into a role where your voice is heard, your ideas are valued, and your work has visible impact. If you’re ambitious, curious, and ready to accelerate your career - keep reading.
Why This Role Is Different
Forget rigid hierarchies and being one of many layers. Here, you’ll work side by side with partners, not several steps removed from them. You’ll be involved in real decisions, real strategy, and real outcomes, not just document review.
The team has built a reputation for running bold, high stakes class actions that don’t just resolve disputes, they shape industries and deliver meaningful change.
It’s a place where initiative is noticed (and rewarded), good ideas travel fast, you’re trusted to step up early, and your career isn’t boxed into a preset path. If you’ve been waiting for a role where you can truly step up rather than just fit in, this is it.
What You’ll Be Doing
No two days will look the same, and that’s exactly the point. You’ll be deeply involved in:
Who This Will Suit
This role is built for someone who wants to do more, sooner. You’ll likely:
What You’ll Get
This isn’t just another step, it’s a step up.
Why Now? The team is growing, the work is getting bigger, and the timing couldn’t be better to come on board and make your mark. There may be scope for multiple hires, and the role can be shaped around the right person.
If you’re ready to back yourself, take on meaningful responsibility, and be part of something genuinely exciting — I’d love to hear from you.
