About Ashurst

Ashurst is a leading global law firm with a rich history spanning over 200 years. Our in-depth understanding of our clients and commitment to delivering exceptional standards of service have made us a trusted adviser to local and global corporates, financial institutions, and governments in all areas of commercial law.

Ashurst Reach

Ashurst Reach is our dedicated flexible legal resourcing platform, providing our clients and Practice Groups with access to a high-quality talent pool of lawyers and paralegals. We understand that our clients need access to highly qualified professionals, often at short notice and/or for short periods, to meet internal client demands, backfill leave, provide cover during recruitment, or assist with specialized projects.

Job Opportunity

We are seeking a strong General Commercial lawyer with 5+ years of experience to join our team in Brisbane. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in general commercial contracting, with exposure to a wide range of industries, including financial services, consumer, food, and retail, energy, and resources, government, and public sector, construction, and infrastructure, education, hotels, leisure, and gaming, mining, TMT, and transport.

The successful candidate will have relevant experience in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, including property, technology, privacy, and data, intellectual property, credit, and financing. M&A experience, particularly involvement in the integration of new companies/businesses into existing corporate structures, as well as joint venture experience, is highly sought after. Procurement experience is also highly valued.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable providing legal advice relating to competition and consumer law, privacy, product safety, quality, and labelling. Experience in disputes and investigations, including litigation, disputes, insolvency/debt recovery, and regulatory investigations, is also an advantage. The candidate must have the ability to hit the ground running, work autonomously, and prioritize tasks effectively.

We are looking for a lawyer who is happy to be a doer, confident in being on the tools, and able to understand and adapt to the needs of a business. The successful candidate will have strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interface at all levels, building strong relationships externally and internally. Strong commercial and business acumen, an excellent client service focus, ethic, and commitment are essential.

The right to live and work in Australia and hold or be able to obtain a current practicing certificate is required. The candidate must be willing to engage with Ashurst via an Independent Incorporated Legal Practice or casual employment.

If you have the skills and experience, please apply, and we will be in touch to discuss your application. If you want to find out more about this role or working with Ashurst Reach generally, please email Fiona Craig, our Talent Manager, at fiona.craig@ashurst.com
