The Opportunity
Celebrating more than 50 years of righting wrongs, Shine Lawyers continues its growth trajectory as a result of maintaining its competitive edge in our field. After successfully relocating almost 50 UK solicitors to Australia, Shine Lawyers is once again seeking UK talent, strengthening our technical excellence in our legal teams across Australia.
Shine's Class Actions practice is one of Australia's largest and most respected, with a proven track record of leading complex, high-profile class actions that have delivered justice and shaped outcomes across social justice, employment, consumer, environmental, securities, and financial services matters. As Class Actions is a strategic growth area for the firm, you'll join a practice expanding across Australia and internationally, working on significant emerging class actions from their earliest stages.
These appointments will also support Shine’s International Mass Torts growth strategy by strengthening the technical capability, leadership depth and litigation expertise needed to scale complex matters and support future growth in Australia and internationally.
