Perth, Western Australia KBE Legal Talent Full time
Senior In-house Lawyer – Employment & Workplace Relations

This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role, leading a small, service-driven team while enjoying a supportive work environment. This well-established legal team is bidding farewell to their Legal Practice Director, who is retiring after 10+ years of dedicated leadership. Now, they are looking for a passionate legal professional to join as the Legal Practice Director to continue fostering a positive and people-first approach to legal services.

About the Role:

The successful lawyer will oversee the provision of legal services to the organisation's members and wider business. You will lead a collaborative, service-driven team, offering advice on employment, workplace relations, and commercial matters in a positive and people-centric environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Advising clients on employment, industrial relations, and workplace relations matters.
  • Representing clients in the Fair Work Commission, WAIRC, and relevant courts and tribunals.
  • Providing advice to the wider business on commercial contracts, including reviewing and drafting terms and conditions.
  • Advising on compliance, corporate governance, strategy, policies, procedures, and operational structures.
  • Managing internal and external stakeholder relationships while fostering a culture of collaboration and support.

What's on Offer?

  • Car allowance, free parking, and other additional benefits.
  • Generous training budget with genuine opportunities to develop both legal and leadership skills.
  • If required, our client will pay for you to complete the practice management course.
  • A true work/life balance - no weekend or after-hours work required.
  • A warm, approachable, and supportive culture that values teamwork, personal development, and well-being.

Who We're Looking For:

We are keen to speak to employment and workplace relations lawyers with 6-15+ years' of experience who have a collaborative mindset and a passion for leadership. Experience in managing a team will also be highly regarded.

We will consider applications from lawyers at the SA/SC level who are not already practicing as a partner or principal, or who have not yet undertaken the LPMC course.

This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role in a highly respected organisation that understands the importance of both professional success and personal well-being.
