  • Assist the Managing Partner with strategic initiatives and provide day-to-day technical legislative guidance.


  • Provide operational oversight, effectively manage budgets, and ensure staff performance aligns with the firm’s objectives.


  • Ensure clients receive comprehensive legal advice and representation to secure maximum compensation.


  • Exhibit strong leadership, sound judgment, and commercial insight to navigate complex situations.


What You’ll Bring:


To thrive in this role, you will have:


  • 10+ years of experience in a specialised field of personal injury law.


  • A current practicing certificate.


  • Proven ability to lead and mentor a high-performing team.
