EMPLOYMENT LAWYER SOUGHT AT JUSTITIA LAWYERS

Justitia is seeking a legal practitioner at the level of Associate.

Part-time applicants, and associates at all levels of experience, are welcome to apply.

About the firm

Justitia is an award-winning law firm for employers focused on people and solutions. We support our clients at every stage of the employment cycle and help them create and sustain healthy workplaces where their people can thrive. Our legal and consultation services are practical, forward-looking, resolution-focussed and cost-effective.

As demand for our services is growing, we are looking for a new colleague to join our team of friendly and talented practitioners.

Justitia is recognised both in the legal industry and more broadly for our workplace culture and focus on client care. We are champions of true workplace flexibility and collaborative cultures. We genuinely believe that legal practitioners should not have to choose between having a successful career and a fulfilling, healthy personal life.

We are proud of our points of difference:

  • We leave our egos at the door
  • We strive for sustainable outcomes
  • We gel as a team
  • We are empathetic

About you

You should have 2+ years of post-admission experience and be available to work a minimum equivalent of three days per week. We are flexible with how our staff work and we need you to be the same – sometimes we will need you to work a little more than your regular hours/days, but you’ll always get time off in lieu for the work that you do.

At Justitia, you will be advising employer clients in a wide range of industries, including public sector, local government and education, as well as supervising and reviewing the work of your junior colleagues.

Skills and experience in any of the following areas would be valued:

  • the broad gamut of workplace law;
  • litigation and alternative dispute resolution, including advocacy;
  • familiarity with advising employers across a variety of sectors;
  • enterprise agreement-making processes and disputation procedures;
  • conducting investigations and workplace reviews; and
  • familiarity with the options for resolving conflict.

You do not need to have all of the above skillsets, but you must have:

  • excellent technical abilities;
  • an ability to work in a manner consistent with Justitia’s highly collaborative and collegiate workplace approach, including the servicing of all clients and matters on a shared basis; and
  • an interest and capacity to be client-focused and contribute to the firm’s efforts in this area.

Applicants should also be prepared to provide referees who can speak to their commitment to teamwork and building strong client relationships, in addition to the qualities outlined above.

If you join our team, you can expect to be mentored and supported in order to thrive.

If you would like to discuss the requirements of this role, whether Justitia is for you, or you have any other questions, please contact the Partner, Melissa Scadden on 03 8621 4500 or Melissa.Scadden@justitia.com.au.

Deadline for applications is Wednesday 29 January 2025.
