Workers Compensation Lawyer

Workers’ Compensation Lawyer – High-Growth National Plaintiff Firm

Your new company

Join one of Australia’s fastest-growing national plaintiff litigation firms — a high-performance, entrepreneurial team dedicated to client advocacy, legal excellence, and genuine financial reward.
As part of a major strategic expansion in the Victorian market, this firm is seeking an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer to join its Melbourne office. With a reputation for high success rates and an aggressive growth model, the firm offers industry-leading remuneration, true autonomy, and structured progression towards partnership for high performers.

Your new role

  • Run a dynamic portfolio of statutory and common law workers’ compensation matters (approx. 100 clients / 140+ active files)
  • Engage directly with clients, insurers, and tribunals to secure high-value outcomes
  • Work within a tight-knit practice group, supported by senior lawyers, paralegals, and legal assistants
  • Participate in a firm culture that rewards results — with no red tape, capped targets, or soft KPIs

What you'll need to succeed

  • Minimum 3 years’ post-admission experience in workers’ compensation (plaintiff or defence)
  • Strong technical knowledge of WorkCover, serious injury applications, and common law claims
  • A proactive mindset, billing discipline, and a commercial approach to client service
  • A current IRO number (for interstate applicants) is advantageous

What you'll get in return

  • Highly competitive base packages across all seniority levels
  • Earn 10% of fees billed above annual budget
  • Clear career roadmap to Special Counsel, Practice Leader, and partnership — driven by your performance
  • Dedicated intake, compliance, and admin teams allow you to focus on law and results
  • 3:2 hybrid model and a modern, agile office culture
  • Lawyers who join tend to stay — supported, well-compensated, and given real opportunities to lead
