Overview
Are you ready to roll up your sleeves on serious, high impact cases? Mitry Lawyers is looking for a sharp, hands-on Disputes Associate. You’ll be working with family offices, national and international corporations, developers, and more — helping them resolve disputes, keep compliant, and avoid legal landmines. If you know your way around contracts, commercial dispute procedures in NSW and at the Federal level, have some courtroom or negotiation experience, and are ready to keep up with changing laws, we want to hear from you. If that sounds like you, you’ll love being part of Mitry — small enough that your voice is heard, big enough that your work matters.
Who We Are
Mitry Lawyers is a boutique, commercial law firm. We’re not huge, but we punch above our weight. Our people are smart, experienced, and down-to-earth, there’s plenty of mentoring, and we like to keep clients in the loop about what’s actually going on with their legal issues.
One common thread between our lawyers is a sense of justice. That is, if we were to try and isolate one thing that we care about the most, it is about achieving justice for our clients. That reflects in the cases we have taken over the more than 16 years since the firm started.
We work with a wide variety of clients — family offices, substantial (and in some cases, industry leading) corporations (including international), high-net-worth individuals, developers, and have even acted for foreign sovereigns. Our current, active cases span the higher state courts (Supreme, NSWCA and District), as well as the Federal Court and the High Court. Areas we handle include commercial and corporate law, class actions, defamation/media law, international law, property, dispute resolution, and so on.
What This Role Is
Full-time, Hybrid (Sydney + some work from home)
You’ll be joining us as a Commercial Disputes Associate, working on advising clients, handling disputes, keeping up with changing laws, drafting/reviewing legal documents, representing clients (including in mediation and court), and generally helping clients navigate tricky legal issues. You will work directly with a senior associate and partner in the firm. You’ll have access to clients at all levels — from family offices to large corporations, from small internal stakeholders to senior executives. You’ll be part of discussions that matter.
Why You’ll Like Working Here
- Small to mid-size firm vibe: close team, good mentoring, partners are accessible.
- Variety: you’ll work across different industries and different kinds of clients — corporate, property, media, government, etc.
- High impact matters: class actions, big commercial disputes, international law, defamation, etc.
- Reputation: we have worked on matters that matter, since our inception. This includes media coverage of some of our cases and our lawyers.
What We Need From You
Here are the must-haves and what will make you shine:
- You’re a practising lawyer (admitted) in Australia, with eligibility to practice in New South Wales.
- Solid experience with commercial disputes.
- Excellent communication (written + spoken), both with clients and in legal documents.
- Good analytical/problem-solving skills. You can work solo when needed, but also as part of a team.
- Bonus points if you’ve done work with large corporates or international clients, or have extra credentials (specialisations or extra courses).
