Join the best: band 1 insurance firm and fastest growing law firm in Australia
FLEX for all: program ensuring equitable access to flexible working for all
Named 'Law Firm of the Year' for Insurance Law

Advance your career in Australia's largest insurance and dispute resolution firm.

Here at Wotton Kearney (WK) we have one focus – insurance law. Recognised amongst Australia's best lawyers and ranked Band 1 for Insurance in the legal directories, we are proud to be the largest insurance and dispute resolution firm in Australia.

Our growth has been phenomenal. Why?
Put simply, the best clients come to us because we have the best people. Our work is exciting, complex and challenging. We are the law firm of choice for coverage advice to insurers and monitoring class actions brought against blue-chip companies, statutory agencies and corporate executives.

The opportunity
Our PE+I team is renowned for its expertise in managing complex, high-value property claims and subrogated recoveries in Asia Pacific. We specialise in various property-related sectors, including energy, resources, power, renewables, and infrastructure, handling indemnity disputes, complex coverage issues, dual insurance actions, and crisis management for local and international insurers during catastrophic events. We excel in cases involving multi-party recoveries, often with intricate factual or forensic elements, requiring active engagement with co-insurers and the broader market. Our focus is on maximizing recovery income and delivering efficient, timely resolutions for insurers.

Key Responsibilities
As an Associate or Senior Associate in our PE+I team, you will be responsible for:

Advising on coverage for first-party losses.
Conducting legal research and document review.
Briefing and conferencing with loss adjusters, experts, and counsel.
Drafting advice for clients on coverage and strategy.
Assisting with subrogated recoveries, advising insurers on prospects.
Handling all aspects of recovery litigation, including drafting pleadings, proofing witnesses, and settling expert evidence.
Attending settlement discussions to represent our clients effectively.
Contributing to thought leadership by drafting articles and preparing presentations on legal developments and areas of interest to our clients.

To be considered you will have...

Admitted with 4 - 10+ years of relevant legal experience, preferably in insurance or litigation.
Strong analytical and research skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
Commitment to delivering high-quality legal services to clients.
