- Join a national firm where you can work on large scale matters in a Melbourne litigation team that operates with the closeness of a boutique.
- Incredible mentorship: with a partner who's built their career at the top end of the market, you'll get close, hands-on supervision and the kind of development that's hard to find anywhere
- Value a positive/healthy work environment: 6.5 hour billables, strong internal culture. People tend to stay here, and there's a reason for that.
About your new employer:
- One of Australia's largest legal partnerships, with a national footprint and a deep, long-standing banking and financial services client base.
- A band 1 recognised litigation practice with nationally regarded partners and an excellent reputation in the market.

- Complex banking litigation, including scams, fraud and misappropriation matters.

The ideal candidate:
- 2+ years' PQE in banking litigation, commercial disputes, insolvency or recovery work.
