Associate to the Honourable Justice Croft

Supreme Court of Victoria

Full time
$81,496 per annum + 12% superannuation (VPS Grade 3.1 position)
Role based in the Melbourne CBD

The Honourable Justice Croft is seeking a legally qualified person to be his Associate, commencing in mid-August 2026. We will also be seeking interest for an additional associate position, with an anticipated commencement in January 2027.

Justice Croft undertakes a wide variety of general commercial matters, including arbitration, commercial and retail leases and taxation matters. As such, you should have a very strong interest and background in commercial law, including commercial arbitration. At least one year's post admission experience at a law firm (or similar) is desirable.

To be successful in this position, you will have exceptional time management and organisational skills, being able to balance the administrative demands of chambers with high-level legal research, writing and editing tasks.

Excellent research, writing and typing skills, proficiency in grammar and a strong academic record are key requirements for this role, as is the ability to work collaboratively in a small team. Applicants with experience on the editorial committee of a university law journal and/or a thorough working knowledge of the AGLC Guide would be well suited to this role.

The Commercial Court has judge-managed lists so you will be comfortable with working in a fast-paced environment and liaising in a cordial manner with members of the legal profession and the public.

The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work closely with Justice Croft and will gain an invaluable insight into his work in the Commercial Court. There is also a unique opportunity to observe the work of the Court and the advocacy skills of various counsel.

Duties include:

Undertaking substantive legal research.
Assisting with analysis and the production of reasons for judgment, papers and presentations, including proof-reading and editing.
Drafting Court orders.
Performing administrative tasks, including managing the demands of the judge-managed lists.
Acting as chambers' first point of contact, liaising with Court staff, the public, the media, and the profession.
Undertaking the duties of an Associate in Court – electronically and in person. These include: communicating with practitioners; opening and closing the court; swearing in and affirming witnesses and interpreters; recording and maintaining a repository of documents and exhibits; and transcript related tasks.

The closing date for applications is midnight Friday 5 June 2026.Applications will be considered as they are received and you may be contacted prior to the application close date.

For further details, please review the attached position description.

How to Apply

cover letter;
résumé;
small summary about yourself (e.g., personal interests and hobbies); and
copy of academic transcript.

Applicants are not required to separately address the key selection criteria.
