6 days ago

Melbourne, Australia Maddocks Full time

**About us**

We are a proudly independent Australian law firm that works closely with corporations, businesses and governments throughout Australia and internationally. We have a particular focus on the built environment, education, government, healthcare and technology sectors. Our commitment to our clients and their goals is matched by our commitment to our people and their career goals.

**About the role**

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Lawyer/ Associate to join Maddocks’ construction litigation team, working with Paul Woods and Anna Scannell. The Construction team has five Partners and works across both front and back-end matters. The team has a strong pipeline of varied and interesting work, across a range of clients, including large construction companies and developers as well as government departments and entities.

This role will see you working across a range of matters for both our public and private clients, including:

- Disputes relating to time (extension of time and delay costs), variations and defects (including latent defects) arising on construction and infrastructure projects.
- Litigated construction disputes in Victorian Courts
- Arbitrations under domestic commercial arbitration legislation in Australia
- Expert determination and mediation
- Experience advising on construction insurance policies (experience in this area would be a bonus but is not essential).

Industries include commercial, energy, gas, electricity, road, rail, mining and residential projects.

We are committed to maintaining our reputation as a high performing construction team, delivering outstanding technical knowledge, great client service and a solid understanding of our client’s legal expectations. We offer high quality work within a diverse practice for people who are passionate about becoming construction law experts. Working as a Lawyer within in the team, you will have the opportunity to work both autonomously and collaboratively with Partners and other members of the team on both mid and larger scale matters.

**About you**
- Excellent communication skills with a proactive approach
- Strong academic results
- Ability to work both autonomously and within larger teams
- A commitment to technical excellence and to continuing learning and development

By joining this team, you will be offered strong mentoring and support and the ability to progress your career in a collegiate environment.

**What makes us unique**

We look for diversity of experience and background and then provide the tools for career success. We will provide you with targeted training and development programs so that you can achieve your career goals.

We are proud leaders of the legal profession when it comes to promoting a diverse workforce. We have been an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality by the Workforce Gender Equality Agency every year since 2004. We promote diversity internally through our Maddocks Women and Maddocks Pride groups and we are committed to sustainability through our membership of the Australian Legal Sector Alliance (AusLSA).

We work in a hybrid way at Maddocks, with part of our week in the office, and also have wider flexible working arrangements, whether that's hours, place of work or the leave you take. We welcome the opportunity to talk to you about working flexibly.
