Tertiary qualifications in Law and current practising certificate in Australia.
Typically 5+ years PQE with a strong background in litigation, disputes, and regulatory matters.
Proven expertise in consumer law and product liability.
Demonstrated experience in VCAT or similar tribunal attendance, mediations, and conciliations.
Must be able to run matters independently with minimal supervision.
Exceptional drafting, negotiation, and advocacy skills.
Commercially pragmatic approach with the ability to balance legal risk with business objectives.
