• Assist with design, implementation and maintenance of legal policies and procedures and broader operational projects

What You’ll Bring to the Table

We're looking for a highly motivated lawyer who thrives in a busy, high-volume, competitive commercial market where priorities often change. You are comfortable picking up something and running with it, while having the awareness to escalate matters as appropriate. You proactively keep abreast of legislative change and can advise on the impact of change to the business. 

With a tertiary qualification in Law and a current practicing certificate in an Australian State or Territory, you will bring 4+ years of legal experience to the team gained ideally within an in-house environment where you have ideally worked with large enterprise and commercial deals.
