The Opportunity

We are expanding our thriving Dispute Resolution practice and we need a talented and driven 1-4 PQE lawyer to join our Debt Recovery team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious lawyer looking to accelerate their career with hands-on work, genuine responsibility, and direct client interaction from day one.

This is an exciting opportunity for a debt recovery lawyer to work directly with a diverse client base ranging from SMEs to large corporate entities, including lenders, across a broad range of debt recovery matters, effectively acting as an extension of their internal collections efforts, while also taking on early leadership responsibility by overseeing a team of graduates and paralegals, working closely with and reporting to Practice Leaders, and playing a key role in managing and building strong client relationships.

You will be part of a genuinely collaborative team that values work-life balance and supports one another rather than competing. This is a culture built on mutual respect and shared success, where you can advance your career without sacrificing your well-being.

• Conducting internal conflict checks.
• Opening and maintaining digital files in our custom built systems.
• Managing and prioritising a caseload to meet administrative and procedural deadlines.
• Ensuring all work is carried out in a timely and effective manner.
• Identifying opportunities for, and contributing to, system and process improvements.

The Ideal Candidate

• Admitted to practise law in Australia, with current unrestricted practising certificate
• 2-4 years of experience working in commercial debt recovery.
• Strong working knowledge of debt recovery processes, including statutory demands, letters of demand, default judgments, garnishee orders, and enforcement proceedings
• Experience managing a high-volume caseload with competing deadlines
• Confidence appearing in court or before tribunals for interlocutory and enforcement matters
• Strong written and verbal communication, drafting, and negotiation skills
• Ability to advise clients directly on strategy, risk, and commercial outcomes
• Strong client relationship management skills
• High attention to detail and strong file management and time-recording discipline
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a broader team environment

The Perks

• Fast-paced environment with accelerated growth opportunities for high performers.
• With our 'LV Leave' benefit, receive up to 5 days of extra paid leave per year, with additional days after 2 years of service, plus paid parental leave, birthday leave, and volunteering leave.
• Annual budget to spend on external learning and development opportunities.
• Regular team socials, drinks and team lunches.
