Commercial Litigation Lawyer (Health)

The Firm
Our client has built a strong reputation advising organisations operating in highly regulated environments. Its health law team acts for hospitals, healthcare providers, government departments and professional bodies on complex disputes, investigations and inquiries.

For lawyers, it offers a compelling combination of sophisticated work, experienced mentors and the opportunity to develop specialist expertise within a broad disputes practice
 
The Timing
Health law continues to evolve rapidly, creating increased demand for specialist legal advice across litigation, investigations and regulatory risk. The Brisbane team is growing and looking to add a lawyer who is keen to build long-term expertise in this area. With strong workflows, recognised leaders and a genuine commitment to mentoring junior lawyers, this is an ideal time to join a practice with significant momentum.

The Work Itself
Not every disputes role offers the opportunity to work on matters that can carry legal, reputational and operational significance simultaneously. You'll advise healthcare organisations, government bodies and practitioners through professional negligence claims, coronial inquests, disciplinary proceedings, investigations and regulatory matters. You'll be involved in some of the sector's most challenging issues, helping clients navigate complex legal frameworks while managing broader organisational risks.

Along the way, you'll gain meaningful client exposure, increased responsibility and the opportunity to develop specialist expertise in a highly regarded and growing area of practice.

Where You'll Land
This is a team that combines sophisticated work with a genuinely supportive environment. You will work closely with experienced practitioners who invest heavily in the development of their lawyers, providing hands-on mentoring and the opportunity to build your profile within a national practice.

In addition, you'll benefit from:

• Flexible working arrangements
• Five weeks' annual leave
• Market-leading parental leave benefits
• Structured learning and development programs
• National mentoring initiatives
• Wellbeing and employee support programs
• A collaborative and inclusive culture

Sound Like You?
You'll likely have:

• Around 3-5 years' post-admission experience
• A background in litigation, dispute resolution and/or investigations
• Strong drafting and analytical skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities
• A genuine interest in health law, regulation or complex disputes

Previous health law experience will be highly regarded, although lawyers from broader litigation or regulatory backgrounds who are seeking to specialise are encouraged to apply.
