Burn Legal Australia is a boutique employment law and industrial relations firm that services businesses and workers.

About the role

We’re seeking our first full-time Employment Lawyer and offering them the opportunity to grow with us.

You’ll work directly with the Managing Principal - an Accredited Specialist in Employment & Industrial Law - and gain hands-on experience across the full spectrum of employment law matters.

This role is suited to someone who is proactive and motivated. With guidance and mentoring, we want you to develop the skills and autonomy to run matters from start to finish, advise clients with confidence, and appear in the Fair Work Commission and Courts.

Why join us?

Work side-by-side with the Managing Principal: You’ll have the opportunity to meaningfully impact client outcomes from day one.

Rewarding work: Experience the satisfaction of running matters and achieving outcomes that make a real difference to clients.

Ground-floor opportunity: As our first full-time lawyer, you’ll have scope to grow with the firm, take on senior responsibilities, and shape the firm’s direction.

Develop strategic judgment: Instead of being sidelined with research tasks in a large firm, you’ll be developing the judgment, insight, and advocacy skills that AI can’t replace.

Hybrid working: Balance flexibility with collaboration in our office on Elizabeth Street, Sydney.

Competitive remuneration: $120k (including super), with a 10% retention bonus after probation, and annual salary increases aligned with performance and firm growth.

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your suitability for the role to [email protected]. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
