Maddocks is committed to making a difference for our clients, our people and the communities in which we operate.

**About the role**

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a 3-5 year Lawyer in our highly regarded Government Advisory team. Working alongside Partner Kate Oliver, this role will provide advice to clients in local government on administrative law, governance, contractual matters and statutory interpretation. This is a unique opportunity to join a collaborative team that does high-quality work where you will be well supported with your training and development.

**About you**

In order to be considered for this role you will have the following skills and experience:

- Currently be working as a Solicitor, ideally with experience in government advisory work, and have strong interest in administrative law and statutory interpretation.

This role offers a great opportunity for you to develop your skills and progress your career working autonomously across a wide breadth of government advisory work.

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.

**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.
