long-established firm with the excitement of continued growth. We
operate in a way that puts our clients and our people at the heart of
everything we do - we're proud to be described as being down to earth,
practical and easy to deal with.
We have an exciting opportunity for a
SeniorAssociate or Special Counsel to join our Commercial Insurance (CTP) team in Sydney,Brisbane,Canberra or Newcastle working with Partner, Larissa Mepstead.
Applicants seeking flexible working hours or a part-time
position are encouraged to apply. Talk to us about your needs and we

working as part of a busy collegiate team supporting licenced NSW

are looking for a diligent, down to earth professional with excellent
attention to detail and the ability to work autonomously within a
close-knit team. Previous defendant CTP experience is
