Our client is an established commercial litigation practice in the Sydney CBD, acting across a broad range of disputes including commercial, insolvency and bankruptcy, construction and contested estates matters.

• Established commercial litigation practice with a partner-led team
• A genuinely varied practice spanning commercial disputes, insolvency and bankruptcy, construction disputes and contested estates

Salary and Benefits offered

• $130K to $180K ex super, reflecting genuine PAE and experience
• A team that is growing, signalling real investment and a clear runway for progression

• Sydney CBD location
• Flexibility can be provided on ad hoc basis
