Associate/Senior Associate - Medical Law

We bring true purpose, authentic people and a proven path. You bring you. 
 
The Opportunity 
 
As an Associate or Senior Associate in our Brisbane-based practice, you’ll be on the frontline as we doggedly seek justice. Reporting to the Practice Leader of our Queensland Medical Law team, you’ll work on a range of matters where our clients have suffered life changing injury through medical negligence.
This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced personal injury solicitor who would like to specialise in Medical Law. You will work from our Brisbane-CBD office with some of the best medical negligence solicitors in Australia, driving outcomes for clients who are advanced in the litigation process. We are offering this role on a permanent basis, and will consider flexibility for the right candidate.
 
With compassion, connection and purpose, you’ll truly champion our clients by:  

• Effectively assess and quantify risk of medical negligence cases, driving these to settlement.
• Providing the legal advice and representation our clients need and deserve to obtain maximum compensation. 
• Cultivating strong relationships with our clients through exceptional communication and clear management of expectations.  
• Preparing legal documentation with a high degree of detail, and manage and run a file load with a keen level of commercial and fiscal awareness. 

What you’ll bring 
 
To thrive in this role, you’ll have: 

• A Bachelor of Laws with a current practising certificate. 
• Significant experience as a personal injury lawyer.
• Familiarity with Queensland Law and legislation, in particular the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 and Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999.
• An innate ability to question, challenge the status quo and always stay ahead of the pack. 
• A commitment to truly connect with those around you and work together to deliver exceptional results for our clients. 
• The passion, motivation and enthusiasm to contribute to our culture and ensure it’s a place where everyone can thrive.
