The Opportunity
We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced senior associate or special counsel to join our government team on a full-time basis.
This role will provide the opportunity to work across a diverse range of legally challenging matters focussing on professional indemnity, construction and general liability. The work is high quality working for one of the leading insurance partners in NSW with clients based both domestically (Government and private sector) and internationally.
Your main responsibilities will include:

* Provide guidance, mentorship, and supervision to junior lawyers, assisting in their professional growth and development.
* Represent clients in negotiations, mediations, and court proceedings with expertise and confidence.
* Offer ongoing legal advice and support to clients throughout the entire litigation process.
The successful candidate will be experienced in and enjoy working autonomously on matters while supervising and mentoring junior lawyers. This is a fantastic opportunity to progress your career within a team that is renowned for its collaborative culture, passion for client service and professional development opportunities.
Skills and Experience

* A Bachelor of Laws or equivalent and a current New South Wales practising certificate.
* Minimum 5 years' post admission and experience in liability or professional indemnity, with experience in insurance policy advice and coverage disputes.

* Excellent written and verbal communication abilities; and

What We Offer
In return, McCabes will provide you with the opportunity to work with a talented team in a flexible, inclusive, and innovative environment. We also promote a culture focused on the firm's values - integrity, excellence, and courage - that provides opportunities to develop and progress your career.
We are small enough to give you the personal attention and career development to help you reach your full potential, yet large enough to provide the challenge of diverse, high-quality work and clients.
Other benefits include:
* Access to direct mentoring from senior lawyers of the firm
* A competitive salary commensurate with experience
