The Opportunity

An opportunity has arisen for an intermediate level lawyer to join our client’s insurance litigation team. You will work in a team based culture where there isn't a hierarchy or any airs and graces. There is the chance to be involved in files end to end and to take on greater responsibility on more complex claims as you progress. The work will involve contentious insurance matters primarily representing insurer clients in matters such as statutory liability, professional indemnity (e.g. claims against real estate agents), professional negligence, construction related insurance matters, marine disputes, business interruption and regulatory investigations, acting for top end insurers and its brokers. 
  
About you: 

• 2.5+ years litigation experience, gained in a well regarded litigation practice or within an insurance organisation. While having some insurance litigation experience is preferred, those with a solid civil litigation background interested in this area are of interest also; 
• A team player that enjoys varied work;
• An analytical mind with good drafting skills and client relationship management capabilities and; 
• A decent university academic record. 

The insurance industry is one that is stable and consistent and provides a steady workflow. It's also one where often matters are settled out of court, but you can use your negotiation and dispute resolution skills to achieve sound results for your clients. If a move into a leading firm in this area piques your interest, get in touch!
