**About the roles**
The AGS Dispute Resolution practice (DR) is Australia’s pre-eminent public law litigation practice. It has unrivalled experience and specialist expertise in providing dispute related legal advice and representation in every jurisdiction in Australia, across a diverse range of legal matters for Commonwealth agencies, including a very significant practice representing the Commonwealth’s regulatory enforcement agencies, administrative law, tax litigation, employment law, torts law and information access law. AGS acts for the Commonwealth in the full range of disputes to which it is a party or in which it has an interest (including access to sensitive information) and advises on investigations including for law enforcement and national security agencies. DR also represents the Commonwealth before inquests, inquiries and royal commissions, and as the solicitor assisting royal commissions. In addition, DR has a specialist in-house counsel practice, led by Tim Begbie KC.

This is an exciting opportunity for a dispute resolution lawyer interested in a rewarding career at a Senior or Managing Partner-equivalent level within the Commonwealth’s Senior Executive Service. The role operates at a strategic level. The role is an integral part of the senior leadership of the AGS group and is a professional leader and role model in the department.

In this role you will:

- a thorough understanding of the Commonwealth legal environment
- exemplary leadership and managerial skills and a commitment to the highest professional and ethical standards
- the ability to provide strategic advice to the highest levels within Government
- demonstrated ability in senior stakeholder engagement
- excellent professional judgement and interpersonal skill.

With open door access to some of Australia’s most respected lawyers, we are a developer of talent and critical thinking and you will partner with our clients to deliver creative solutions to current and emerging legal issues of national importance.
