Plaintiff Insurance - Senior Associate/Special Counsel - Brisbane

Strong earning potential + genuinely lucrative bonus structure

What makes this role a standout opportunity?

This is a rare opportunity to join one of Australia's leading plaintiff firms in a genuinely senior, high-impact role.

Are you currently leading complex matters, shaping litigation strategy, and building long-term client relationships?

If not, this role offers that next step.

You'll work at the forefront of complex dust disease litigation, acting on matters that are not only technically challenging but deeply meaningful, representing clients in life-altering circumstances.

The Opportunity

This is a career-defining role with genuine long-term progression, including a clear pathway into leadership.

Alternatively, there is strong support to develop as a technical specialist within a highly regarded plaintiff practice.

You will manage a diverse personal injury practice, with a focus on complex and sensitive matters, including:

* Mesothelioma
* Silica-related claims
* Coal mine dust disease

The work spans multiple jurisdictions and involves direct client engagement, often in highly sensitive circumstances.

Why do lawyers enjoy working here?

* One of Australia's leading plaintiff firms with a national footprint
* High-quality, purpose-driven matters that genuinely impact clients' lives
* Real autonomy and trust at senior level
* Supportive, down-to-earth and collaborative culture
* Clear progression pathways based on merit
* Competitive salary + lucrative bonus structure
* Work alongside leading experts in dust disease and complex personal injury litigation

How will this role develop your career?

You will operate with a high level of autonomy, running your own matters while working closely with a leading practitioner in their field within the toxic exposure, dust diseases and specialist personal injury space.

This role will see you:

* Lead files end-to-end with full carriage
* Develop litigation strategy on complex, high-value claims
* Build strong, long-term client relationships
* Mentor and support junior lawyers
* Contribute to the growth of the practice

What type of person will be successful?

* 5+ PAE with experience in dust disease litigation, or broader workers' compensation / public liability
* Strong litigation fundamentals and a passion for advocacy
* Confidence running files independently
* Commercial and strategic mindset
* Proactive, resourceful and solutions-focused
* Strong understanding of legislation across multiple Australian jurisdictions
