Commercial Litigation - Senior Associate/Special Counsel/Director | Leadership
Commercial Litigation – Leadership Opportunity | Senior Associate / Special Counsel / Partner A strategic and career-defining opportunity is now open for a seasoned litigator to step into a leadership-oriented role with a respected, independent commercial law firm based in Brisbane.
This position suits an ambitious Senior Associate ready for promotion, a client-savvy Special Counsel with leadership potential, or an established Partner seeking a fresh start with real influence. The firm is prepared to invest in the right person, whether that means offering title progression, autonomy, or support to grow a team.
What Makes This Role Different - Clear Leadership Pathway: Move into a Special Counsel or Partner role (or Associate Director title) with genuine support to shape the team.
- Build Your Own Team: Bring an existing team or be supported to recruit and develop one over time.
- Strategic Input: Work closely with firm leadership and play a key role in shaping the future direction of the litigation practice.
- Room to Grow: Open to ambitious Associates or Senior Associates with a view to accelerate their career into leadership.
About the Role:
You’ll work directly with a highly regarded senior Partner, with expertise across litigation and taxation, acting on a diverse range of disputes including:
- Contractual and shareholder disputes, regulatory matters, insolvency, and complex tax litigation.
- Commercial property and leasing disputes, and high-stakes employment claims.
- Disputes involving public companies, high-net-worth individuals, SMEs, and government bodies.
This is a hands-on, client-facing role—not a back-office position. You’ll be given autonomy, visibility, and the chance to make your mark.
You May Be: - A Senior Associate or Special Counsel with aspirations to lead and a track record of managing files and client relationships.
- A Partner, with or without a significant following, looking to step into a cohesive team and drive growth.
- A rising Associate with strong capability, ready for promotion and development into a leadership position.
- A lawyer with a small team looking for the infrastructure, culture, and support to thrive.
