Why Hilton Bradley
We’re a fast-growing firm built on specialist expertise and commercial acumen. Our team works across corporate insolvency, liquidation, commercial litigation and debt recovery – the kind of work that keeps you sharp and constantly learning.
Interesting, high quality work
Commercial litigation in the Federal Court and Supreme Courts, complex insolvency appointments, and fast paced debt recovery across multiple industries. Every week looks different.
Direct access to directors
Our directors have over 25 years of experience. You’ll work alongside the directors, not four layers below. Genuine mentoring and real time honest feedback from day one.
Above-market pay
We pay at national mid-tier level and above. High performers are rewarded, not just acknowledged, but actually compensated. We back that up.
Career progression
We promote based on performance, not tenure. The firm is growing quickly and that creates real opportunities to move up fast.

Our Sydney head office at 99 Elizabeth Street is right in the CBD, a short walk to the courts. Modern office, easy-going team.
Mentoring for the future

The culture: honest and upfront
Here’s what working at Hilton Bradley actually looks like.
It’s fast paced and intense. We handle urgent matters for clients under real financial pressure. Deadlines are tight, stakes are high and the work requires focus. You need to be comfortable with that.
It’s a high-performance environment. We set high standards and we expect everyone to meet them. In return, we invest in your development, give you meaningful work from day one, and reward the people who deliver.
It’s commercially minded. We don’t just think like lawyers, we think like business people. Our clients value practical, commercial advice and we expect our team to develop that same mindset.
It’s genuinely supportive. The intensity doesn’t mean you’re on your own. Directors are accessible and invested in helping you grow. The firm is easy-going in the way that matters, no egos, no politics, just good people doing good work.
