Sick of Billables? Craving Real Work-Life Balance? Read On….

Snow Legal - Employment Lawyers, but not like the others.

Let’s be honest.

You didn’t become an employment lawyer to chase billable hours, fill in timesheets, or spend long days working through yet more discovery.

You became a lawyer because you like solving problems, advocating for clients, and making complex workplace issues make sense. Right?

Who Are We?

Snow Legal is an employment law firm based in Adelaide’s CBD. We're not trying to be everything to everyone. We stick to what we do best: employment law.

Our clients? Australia’s leading employers – small and large, household names, all kinds of industries
Our vibe? Down-to-earth, collaborative, and proudly human, with the ability to ‘bring it’ when we have to.
Our reputation? Sharp minds, practical advice, no fluff.

The Role – What You’ll Actually Be Doing

We’re on the lookout for a 3–6 PAE Employment Lawyer who is ready for a change and to do real, interesting work.

You’ll:

Advise on day-to-day HR issues (the tricky ones)

Work with clients on complex front-end work

Proactively resolve workplace issues before they become full-blown disputes

But also – some disputes are unavoidable, so the ability to run complex litigation and conduct investigations is a must

Work directly with clients who actually value your input

Collaborate with leading counsel and lawyers from our wide range of referring firms

And here's the kicker: no billable targets. None.
We work on trust - our team delivers its best without the targets hovering over our heads.

What’s In It for You?

Besides the meaningful work and great colleagues, here’s what else is on the table:

No billable targets

5 weeks’ annual leave

1 WFH day per week

Warm, welcoming and contemporary office in the CBD

Excellent paid parental leave policy

Competitive salary + bonus structure

Grow your own networks

A genuinely supportive team (you’ll like us, promise)

This is a job where you can do great work and have a life.

Who You Are

You’ve probably got an employer-focussed background. Maybe you’ve done the big firm thing, maybe you’re still in it and wondering what else is out there.

What we’re looking for:

A solid background in employment/workplace law

Experience advising on:

Issues arising under workplace legislation (Fair Work Act, anti-discrimination legislation, Return to Work Act, etc),

Award and enterprise agreement interpretation, including underpayment issues

Performance management, misconduct, termination, and post-employment issues

Ability to handle both the front-end and the disputes side of employment law

Someone who’s commercially savvy, practical, a good communicator, and great with people

Final Pitch

We could keep talking, but if you’ve read this far, you already know this role is different.
