Senior Associate – Disputes | Brisbane
For litigators who want the work, the platform, and the future - not just the title.
  
The opportunity
If you’re a disputes lawyer who thrives on complex, high-stakes work and wants to be part of a team that genuinely invests in your long-term growth, this is worth a closer look. This is a rare chance to step into a senior role within a leading disputes practice without the usual noise or politics.
  
Why this role stands out
This isn’t about running small matters in isolation or waiting years for meaningful responsibility. You’ll be working on major commercial disputes with real national and international reach - the kind of matters that shape industries, test strategy, and accelerate careers.
  
You’ll be trusted early, exposed directly to clients, and supported by senior lawyers who are deeply invested in mentoring and sponsorship. The structure is designed to help strong performers move forward - not sideways.
  
The work
You’ll be involved in a broad and sophisticated disputes practice, including:

• Complex commercial and corporate litigation
• Class actions, regulatory investigations, and strategic disputes
• Matters before superior courts and tribunals
• Advisory work at the intersection of risk, regulation, and governance

  
The work is intellectually demanding, fast-moving, and varied - ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving at the highest level.
  
The culture
This is a high-performance but genuinely human environment. People are ambitious, but not at the expense of collegiality. You’ll be surrounded by lawyers who:

• Share knowledge freely
• Value clear thinking over ego
• Embrace innovation, including AI and emerging legal tech
• Take wellbeing seriously, not just rhetorically

  
Flexibility, trust, and respect are built into how the team operates - not treated as perks.
  
What you’ll bring

• 5+ years’ experience in commercial litigation or disputes
• Strong technical skills with a practical, commercial mindset
• Confidence working directly with clients and senior stakeholders
• Curiosity, adaptability, and a desire to keep evolving
• An Australian or New Zealand practising certificate

  
What’s in it for you

• Exposure to premium, market-leading work
• Clear development pathways and genuine career support
• National and international collaboration
• Competitive remuneration and meaningful benefits
• A platform that supports both professional excellence and personal sustainability
