Your New Company
This organisation is a highly transactional, commercially driven business operating at scale, with a strong focus on collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement. Known for investing in its people, the business places real emphasis on developing capability from within and building long-term careers.
The legal function is embedded in the business, working closely with operational and commercial teams to support decision-making and manage risk in a practical, commercial way.
Your New Role
This is a Junior Legal Counsel role designed as a genuine development opportunity for an early-career lawyer looking to build a strong foundation in commercial in-house practice.

Key responsibilities include:
- Reviewing, amending and advising on a high volume of commercial agreements, including customer and operational contracts
- Working closely with internal stakeholders to understand commercial context, risk allocation and business priorities
- Advising on contracts in a practical, solutions-focused way
- Supporting broader legal matters as they arise, including insurance, occasional disputes, and employment or IP issues
Culture & Benefits
Some of the benefits on offer include:
- Strong, ongoing mentoring from several senior legal team members;
- Exposure to the business and senior stakeholders early in your career
- Hybrid role with an initial in-office onboarding period;
- A fun and collaborative workplace culture based on mutual trust and respect; and
- Other benefits include on site parking, parental leave policies, free gym memberships and novated leases
- 1–3 years’ post-admission experience in commercial law with demonstrable hands-on exposure to commercial contracts;
- Able to read, understand and question contracts (including foundational agreements such as NDAs);
- Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with non-legal stakeholders; and
- Curious, proactive and keen to learn
- Commercial litigation background will be considered only where there is clear evidence of contract literacy.
