Plaintiff Personal Injury Lawyer

Ready for better cases – Join Carter Capner Law

Brisbane | Hybrid | Full-time

Join our premier boutique litigation practice.

Outstanding lawyers don't build exceptional careers by handling more files. They build them by handling better cases.

At Carter Capner Law, we've spent more than four decades earning a reputation for taking on significant cases, delivering exceptional outcomes, and providing clients with the highest standard of legal representation.

As our Personal Injury practice continues to grow, we're looking for a skilled plaintiff lawyer who has experience in Queensland and NSW procedure.

This is an opportunity to join one of the region’s most respected litigation firms, work alongside recognised leaders in the field and develop a career defined by quality rather than volume.

If you're ambitious, commercially astute, and passionate about continuous learning, we'd like to speak with you.

Why experienced lawyers choose Carter Capner Law

The best lawyers want challenging work, genuine autonomy and a firm that values excellence.

Here, you'll find:

• Interesting litigation—not a production-line caseload.

• Direct access to highly experienced litigators who are recognised leaders in their field.

• Genuine autonomy to run your matters with support whenever you need it.

• Sophisticated technology and experienced litigation support that allows you to focus on practising law.

• A collaborative, high-performing team that shares knowledge rather than competes internally.

• Flexible hybrid working arrangements built on trust and professionalism.

• An attractive remuneration package with meaningful performance incentives.

• Clear career progression based on ability—not office politics or time served.

• Additional annual leave after three years’ service.

• A firm that genuinely invests in its people, their wellbeing and their professional development.

The Opportunity

You'll manage your own practice with full support from the team. As well as the traditional practice areas, we’ll mentor you in emerging injury compensation fields involving the Australian Consumer Law and Travel Accidents. 

You'll have the opportunity to work on significant matters, develop your skills, and contribute to the continued success of a firm known for excellence.
