Lawyer, Professional Indemnity

An insurance-backed legal platform with a national footprint is expanding its Melbourne presence and is looking to appoint two lawyers at different stages of their careers:

• Special Counsel – Professional Indemnity (with personal injury exposure)
  

• Junior Lawyer / Associate – 1–4 PQE (Personal Injury focus)
  

This is not a traditional private practice environment. The structure is designed so lawyers can concentrate on litigation, strategy and client outcomes — without fee budgets, billing pressure or business development expectations.

The Practice

The team handles a steady pipeline of:

• Professional indemnity disputes spanning a range of professions
  

• Personal injury and liability claims
  

• Litigated matters across multiple jurisdictions
  

• Advisory work requiring strategic and commercial judgement
  

Lawyers are closely involved in matters from commencement through to resolution, including court appearances and direct engagement with insured clients.

The Ideal Profiles

Special Counsel

• Established insurance litigator with strong professional indemnity capability
  

• Comfortable leading complex files and setting litigation strategy
  

• Interested in mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to team direction
  

Junior Lawyer / Associate (1–4 PQE)

• Strong drafting ability and attention to detail

What Makes This Different

• No billable targets
  

• No expectation to generate work
  

• National platform with a close-knit Melbourne team
  

• Stable, long-term career pathway with flexibility built in
