The Associate Lawyer will primarily operate within the firm's litigation division while also managing solicitor work. On the litigation side, the lawyer will provide representation across a dynamic mix of civil and commercial disputes, as well as family law matters. Responsibilities include assessing legal issues, drafting pleadings and commercial agreements, conducting legal research, and attending court appearances, mediations, and arbitrations. This role is ideal for a highly motivated self-starter looking to build a robust practice.
