- Appear at mediations, settlement conferences and QCAT hearings, so you build advocacy experience first-hand
- Shape strategy and advise on alternative dispute resolution instead of only following instructions
- Take on regulatory disputes that come with the construction and property work

What you'll bring!

- Admitted in Queensland, or eligible through mutual recognition, with a current practising certificate
- Confidence running a file with minimal oversight, strong drafting and close attention to detail
- A client-first approach and the commercial judgement to know when to push a matter and when to settle it
- Prior exposure to commercial, property or construction disputes is highly regarded
