Job description

This is a rare opportunity to work at the heart of an exciting major project with significant impact in Australia.

In joining this high-calibre and collaborative legal team, you will support the corporate side of this fast-moving organisation and help ensure the business has the legal strategy, frameworks, processes and advice it needs as the project continues to evolve.

This is a senior, hands-on Counsel role which will suit an experienced corporate and commercial generalist who enjoys becoming immersed in a business, building trusted relationships and providing clear, timely advice from beginning to end.

You will:

  • Provide broad corporate, commercial and operational legal advice
  • Draft, review and negotiate a diverse range of commercial agreements
  • Advise on key shareholder, financing and governance arrangements
  • Support compliance frameworks, policy development and corporate governance initiatives
  • Provide guidance and support to your direct report (paralegal/junior lawyer)
  • Collaborate with the project-delivery legal team where corporate and project matters intersect

This environment is highly dynamic and priorities can change quickly. Some matters will be complex & exciting and all issues require a technically strong lawyer who understands the business, gets across the detail and delivers practical advice without delay.

About you

  • At least 9–10 years’ post-admission experience
  • Strong private practice together with meaningful in-house experience is a must
  • Broad corporate and commercial legal capability
  • Experience within a major-project, infrastructure, energy, government-related or highly regulated environment
  • Excellent judgement and exceptional attention to detail
  • A responsive, pragmatic and highly collaborative approach
  • The confidence to work autonomously and engage effectively across the business

The organisation offers a progressive, collegiate culture and genuine flexibility, including the potential for part-time arrangements or a nine-day fortnight.

Candidates must be available to commence no later than the end of November 2026, and an earlier start will be advantageous.

Applications close strictly by Thursday 17 September 2026.
