For the Commercial Lawyer Ready to Make an Immediate Impact
You've built strong experience across corporate and commercial law. The technical capability is there. Now you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, work closely with decision-makers and contribute to commercially significant matters from day one.
This is an in-house Counsel opportunity for an experienced commercial lawyer who enjoys variety, autonomy and partnering with a business that is ambitious, growing and constantly evolving.
The Organisation
An Australian-headquartered global organisation with a growing international footprint. Ambitious and evolving, the business continues to expand through strategic growth initiatives, new developments and complex commercial partnerships.
Legal sits at the centre of this journey, partnering closely with stakeholders across the organisation and providing practical, commercially focused advice across a diverse range of matters. The team plays a key role in supporting business growth, managing risk and helping deliver strategic outcomes.
The Team
The legal team is cohesive, highly regarded and growing. Reporting to the Head of Legal, they are seeking a lawyer who thrives in a fast-moving environment and can confidently lead matters across commercial, governance and property-related work.
You'll quickly establish yourself as a trusted adviser to stakeholders across the business, providing pragmatic, solutions-focused advice and managing matters with a high degree of autonomy. Every member of the team is involved in strategic projects, business-as-usual operations, governance matters and key organisational initiatives. It's a busy team doing genuinely interesting and varied work.
The Work Itself
Working closely with stakeholders across the organisation, you'll advise on a broad range of commercial, strategic and operational matters.
This role is well suited to a lawyer who enjoys taking ownership, exercising sound judgement and operating with minimal supervision while remaining part of a collaborative and supportive legal team.
Depending on your experience and interests, matters may include:
- Major commercial contracting and negotiations
- Strategic projects and growth initiatives
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Property, leasing and development matters
- Procurement and supplier arrangements
- Data governance and technology projects
- Regulatory and compliance advice
- Corporate governance and company secretariat support
- Enterprise risk management initiatives
Where You'll Land
In a genuinely supportive, down-to-earth team built on autonomy, collaboration and true flexibility. Leaders who trust their people and always have each other's backs. A values-driven organisation that recognises, develops and rewards its people. Novated lease options, paid parental leave, the ability to purchase additional annual leave and company-wide rewards and discounts across travel, dining and shopping. Four days per week in a Brisbane inner-city office, 1 day from home with flexibility built around that.
Sound Like You?
You are an accomplished commercial lawyer with 7+ years' post-admission experience and strong experience in commercial contracting and stakeholder engagement. Exposure to property law is a plus but not essential and by no means a focus of your day to day. You are commercially astute, pragmatic and confident in your judgement. Comfortable operating as the lead lawyer on your matters, you bring the credibility, maturity and practical approach required to partner effectively with stakeholders and deliver solutions in a dynamic and growing organisation.
