The Opportunity

We are looking for a 1-2 PQE Australian-qualified lawyer to join our Employment practice.

• Providing general advice on non-contentious employment law matters.
• Reviewing, drafting and updating standard employment documents such as contracts of employment, settlement agreements and staff handbooks.
• Supporting clients and advising on recruitment, onboarding, application of their internal policies and employee terminations.
• Managing employment litigation matters and external counsel where necessary.
