Your new company
This is an opportunity to join a well-established specialist disputes firm with a strong reputation in the Sydney market. With a collegiate team of approximately 35 professionals, the firm has built a successful practice acting for government departments, insolvency practitioners, corporates and private clients across a broad range of commercial disputes and insolvency matters.
Known for its hands-on approach and strong team culture, the firm offers lawyers meaningful responsibility, direct client exposure and access to high-quality work typically reserved for more senior practitioners at larger firms. The firm prides itself on being collaborative, approachable and invested in the long-term development of its lawyers.
Your new role
Due to continued growth, opportunities have arisen for two lawyers to join the firm's highly regarded Insolvency & Commercial Litigation team. Working closely with experienced partners and senior lawyers, you will be involved in a broad range of matters including:

- Recovery and enforcement proceedings
- Contractual and shareholder disputes

Unlike many roles at this level, you will have the opportunity to take genuine ownership of matters, appear before courts and tribunals, manage your own files under supervision and work directly with clients from an early stage.
