Vor 2 Tagen
Kennedys is seeking an experienced Special Counsel to join our busy litigation practice based in either our Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane office.
Working closely with two highly regarded Partners, Raylee Hartwell and Matt Andrews, and a wider team of experienced Lawyers, you will predominantly be working on an interesting multi-party Federal Court litigation which has reached the discovery phase.
The focus of this work is in the insurance and trade credit space, which will involve working closely with our international offices (namely London).
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Special Counsel, with first-class technical abilities, to play a key role in this stream of work while also supervising and mentoring junior staff.
TEAM:
Kennedys is a leading global insurance law firm and has had a presence in Australia since 2006.
This is a very exciting time to join the team – our Australian offices have grown exponentially over the last 12 months thanks to our talented people and reputation in the global insurance market.
The broader insurance group in Sydney has extensive experience working with both domestic and international insurers amongst other corporates across multiple lines of work, with a particular depth of expertise in professional indemnity, financial institutions, directors' and officers' (D&O), property and construction, energy, cyber, marine, transport, and commercial litigation/employment.
CLIENTS:
General insurers and reinsurers
Lloyds syndicates/ London market insurers
Global composites
Self-insured PLCs
EXAMPLE CASES:
The focus will be Supreme Court litigation in the trade credits space, with the opportunity to work on other insurance litigation such as:
High value coverage disputes for financial institutions
Directors and Officers insurance
High value professional indemnity claims
Subrogated recoveries on behalf of insurers
International arbitrations
Commodities claims
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
10 years + PQE*, from a reputable commercial litigation team
Prior trade credits exposure is desirable but any Federal Court litigation experience would be advantageous
E-litigation or discovery experience would be highly regarded
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal are essential
Methodical and organised approach to file management including in relation to the delegation and mentorship of junior lawyers and paralegals
Ability to manage own time, excellent organisation skills, and attention to detail
High level of professionalism and integrity; displaying the highest standard of professional ethics.
Self-motivated and enthusiastic with a genuine desire to further your career at Kennedys
Please let us know if you require any additional support or adjustments to be made in order to submit your application to Kennedys.
*where a level of experience is indicated, this is a guideline only and represents the amount of time we would usually expect a candidate to accumulate the requisite level of experience.
This does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.
