Litigation Lawyer - 3+ years PQE
- 25/02/2026
- Melbourne CBD & Inner Suburbs
- Permanent / Full Time
If you’re a litigation lawyer who wants more than just files and billables; if you want autonomy, progression and the chance to genuinely build your profile, this is an opportunity worth serious consideration.
A thriving and fast growing firm is expanding its disputes team due to continued growth. With a strong regional footprint and continued growth across multiple offices, this is your opportunity to step into a role where you’ll be trusted with quality matters, valued for your contribution and genuinely supported to progress.
You’ll work across a broad and engaging range of disputes including commercial and civil litigation, regulatory matters, partnership and contract disputes, estate litigation, and construction and property disputes. The client base is diverse and relationship driven; from business owners and primary producers to everyday individuals — giving you meaningful, hands-on experience and genuine client interaction.
This role is primarily office based, with regular travel between offices (typically one to two days per week). Initially, you’ll spend your time embedding into the team and files, building strong internal relationships and taking ownership of matters early. You’ll work closely with experienced leadership while enjoying increasing autonomy as you grow in the role. More experienced candidates will also have the opportunity to mentor junior lawyers and contribute to business development initiatives.
The firm’s culture is collaborative, vibrant and far from conservative. It’s a team that works hard, supports each other and genuinely enjoys what they do. With continued growth across the firm, there is real momentum and real opportunity for someone ambitious who wants to build a long term future.
