AddressThis is a specialist Class Actions, Litigation and DR firm. The Principal is extremely well-liked and respected in the sector. They have practiced for specialist and Top Tier firms in their career and set up this team to specialise.
This is a team of 45 lawyers with a mix of admission experience, and backgrounds.

The firm is well known for having a highly engaged and positive work culture. There is very low staff turnover and many lawyers have been with the firm for over 15 years. Some Senior Associates started as paralegals and were promoted and developed through the ranks. They and the Principal are highly engaged in training their staff and enjoy passing on their skills and experience.
The firm holds several awards and accolades and their opposing counsel are Top Tier and other specialist firms. The Class Actions are highly complex, long life running into 1000s of claimants, including Automotive, Medical, Building, Environmental and Financial Services.
Career progression is reliant on performance and not time served, for those coming in mid-level, their skills are recognised and if they are hitting requirements for promotion early then they will be awarded.
They are a sociable supportive team, this includes Friday drinks once per month plus an annual retreat that the firm pays for everyone to attend. There is the opportunity to network at business events which the Principal actively encourages.
The firm is hiring lawyers with over 3 years of experience working on large, long life and complex Class Actions representing claimants.
