Lawyer – Business Manager – TPD

Business Manager – TPD

• Total and Permanent Disability Business Manager/Lawyer role.

Our law firm was established to serve the needs of Australians when faced with personal injury. As a part of our service, we are focussed on optimising Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) benefits for our clients who are unable to work due to an illness or injury while they focus on their well-being.

Most Australians regularly contribute to their Superannuation fund throughout their working years. TPD insurance is a standard component in most superannuation policies, however many have limited to no knowledge of the entitlements to which they are owed in the unfortunate event of a permanent injury or illness.

With over four decades of experience collectively, our team have successfully managed numerous insurance claims. We possess a profound understanding of Total and Permanent Disability benefits associated with superannuation insurance, cultivated through years of representing individuals across a variety of compensation and common law systems.

• You will have full-spectrum carriage of your own files and ability to delegate files.
• The candidate is expected to take on new and established cases and run them from inception to settlement with their newly created support team.
• This position should be of particular interest to candidates who are experienced in Plaintiff personal injury law and enjoy the litigation aspect.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Experience working for Plaintiffs as a lawyer in the personal injury sector, with a current Practising Certificate from the Victorian Legal Services Board & Commissioner.
• Experience with TPD and insurance matters is essential.

Our team prides itself on the family and work/life balance we provide all employees, and appreciates the juggle of work, study, and family responsibilities. Flexibility in hours may be considered, and a combination of work-from-home and office arrangements may also apply.
