Description

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:

• Major class actions — from early investigation right through to resolution
• Settlement and distribution processes, including court approved schemes
• Drafting pleadings, submissions and key evidence
• Contributing to litigation strategy and case development
• Working directly with clients, counsel, experts, and group members

You won’t be watching from the sidelines, you’ll be in the room where it happens.

Who This Will Suit
This role is built for someone who wants to do more, sooner. You’ll likely:

• Have 2+ years PAE
• Be technically strong, with sharp thinking and sound judgment
• Be naturally curious and commercially aware
• Enjoy taking ownership rather than waiting for direction
• Thrive in a collaborative, fast moving environment
• Be motivated to build a career in class actions or complex litigation

No prior class actions experience? That’s okay. What matters most is your mindset and potential.

What You’ll Get
This isn’t just another step, it’s a step up.

• Work on high profile and high impact matters that make headlines
• Gain direct access to partners and decision makers
• Enjoy a low bureaucracy, high trust culture
• Be recognised and rewarded based on merit, not tenure
• Shape your own career path and progression

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.
