  • Be experienced in general commercial law
  • Be client centric - commercially minded, adaptable and able to hit the ground running

  • You call the shots: We take work-life balance pretty seriously. You can work on-site with our clients or remotely, undertake full-time or part-time assignments, or assignments that are for set months of a year – it's your choice
  • You're never on your own: Throughout your LOD career, you'll become part of a community. You'll be supported by your LOD colleagues and our HQ team, have access to mentoring programs and high quality know-how, LOD social events, and receive regular training to assist in your ongoing growth and development.
  • Our Ways Of Working help shape who we are and what we do: we deliver, we are creative, we are inclusive, we care & collaborate, and we are trusted.
  • We're global: LOD can provide you with local, interstate and international working opportunities. In late 2023, LOD joined forces with Consilio, the global leader in legal consulting and enterprise legal services. Together, LOD & Consilio have a team of approximately 10,000 lawyers, legal engineers, legal operations consultants, paralegals, and risk & compliance professionals spanning North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East.

LOD is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Diversity and inclusion is a core part of our Ways of Working, and we celebrate and embrace it.
