2 weeks ago
Our portfolio of globally recognised brands includes Fitness First Australia, Barry's Bootcamp, Goodlife Health Clubs Australia, Jetts, and Zap. With 500+ physical locations across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Thailand in addition to its on-demand digital health and fitness programs, FLG currently helps almost a million people live healthier and more active lives.
The opportunity:
Join a fast-paced, purpose-driven team making an impact across Australia and beyond.
We are seeking a permanent full-time Junior Legal Counsel to join the team at our Corporate Head Office in Brisbane. You'll report to our Group Legal Counsel and play a key role in delivering legal support across all FLG brands in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and emerging jurisdictions.
This role will suit an early career lawyer with prior in-house experience or who is looking to pivot from private practice. A strong academic record is great, but the law is always changing You'll need a passion for learning and a creative mindset for problem solving. In-house practice is about meeting the client where they're at, not giving them a 15-page advice with footnotes to digest.
Key duties and responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
- Commercial & Contracts – Draft and negotiate supplier, contractor, partnership, and marketing agreements across multiple brands.
- Disputes – Advise internal teams and represent the business in a variety of disputes before tribunals (QCAT, VCAT, NCAT), OAIC, AHRC and others.
- Property – Support on leasing, subleasing, and licensing matters.
- Compliance & Regulatory – Help manage key compliance obligations, including Modern Slavery Statement, OAIC, ACMA and other regulatory alerts.
- Advisory – Deliver clear, practical legal advice on privacy, IP, consumer, and contract law to leadership and stakeholders.
- IP – Manage our trademark portfolio and instruct external TM attorneys on applications, renewals and other matters.
- Transactions - Assist with due diligence and other aspects of acquisitions, divestments and restructuring activities.
- Stakeholder Engagement – Build strong relationships, deliver training, and make legal approachable for the wider business.
- External Counsel – Coordinate external advisors as needed.
What we are looking for:
- A qualified lawyer with a current QLD practicing certificate or the ability to obtain one
- 0–2 years PAE (law firm or in-house experience)
- Strong drafting skills and knowledge across contract law, ACL, IP, privacy, property, and dispute resolution
- Excellent communicator who can tailor legal advice to suit different audiences
- Independent, organised, and comfortable working across multiple projects in a lean environment
- A team player with a great attitude—collaborative, curious, and excited to build a career in-house
If you aren't sure whether you have all the skills we're looking for, we'll tell you a secret: apply anyway. You must be a qualified lawyer and hold a current QLD practicing certificate (or the ability to obtain one). Beyond that, we're looking for the right person to join our team.
In return we offer you:
- Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
- Complimentary all access Goodlife Gym Membership, plus one for a friend
- A forward-thinking company that values innovation and continuous improvement
- A fun, positive, and people-first culture where your contributions are genuinely valued
- Dedicated mentoring to support your professional development and career growth
- Modern open-plan office with end of trip facilities, onsite cafe and complimentary barista coffee
- Anniversary leave days and additional complimentary memberships through FLG's Recognition of Service Program
- Enjoy exclusive employee discounts with industry leading fitness, travel, fashion and retail brands through FLG's partner discount program
- Leading paid parental leave program
- Employee Assistance Program
How to Apply: (please ensure you have all the following to hand before commencing your application)
Please click 'Apply' to submit the following:
- Your current resume and transcript
- A cover letter, outlining how you meet the areas described in "What we are looking for"
- An AI generated image, poem or song from your AI bot of choice to finish the following sentence:
"I will be a great member of the in-house legal team at FLG because..."
Why do we need an AI output as part of your application? AI is part of our lives and an evolving element of legal practice. Law is an inherently creative profession and always subject to change. Good in-house practice requires an agile mindset and a degree of courage: someone who can take the problem presented to them and run with it to the client's satisfaction.
Plus, we want this to be fun for our recruitment team. Play on.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion:
At Fitness and Lifestyle Group we bring positive energy and attitude to work every day, we are proud of who we are and who we work for. We don't just accept individuality; we encourage it and acknowledge the value diversity and inclusivity brings to our organisation. We pride ourselves on empowering our team to be their authentic selves at work.
We welcome applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, people of all ages, race, sex, intersex status, gender identity, sexual orientation, people with a disability and from other diverse backgrounds.
