The Opportunity

We are seeking a Corporate Lawyer or Senior Associate to join our award-winning Tier 1 Corporate Energy & Resources team in our Brisbane office. You will be working with our leading Partner and other Corporate Energy & Resources partners across our national practice.

Your day could typically involve:

  • Advising on front-end project development and business-as-usual operations in the resources and infrastructure sector (including renewables, green hydrogen, critical minerals, LNG, and port and rail infrastructure).
  • Supporting a strong multinational and regional client portfolio.
  • Working with clients at the cutting edge of emerging technology, such as contract drafting for clients rolling out driverless automation technology or automated rail signalling.
  • M&A transaction work advising on acquisitions and divestments in the energy and resources sector.
  • General advice work in the energy & resources sector.
  • You may also work closely with other leading Partners on M&A transactions relevant to the energy and resources sector.
  • Working closely with team members in Australia and worldwide on transactions and projects throughout Australia, the Asia-Pacific, Africa, Middle East, and South America.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • At least 3 years' experience with clients in the energy and resources sector, preferably with an energy and resources or projects and construction background.
  • Alternatively, you may have a strong private M&A background and be interested in developing your career further in the energy & resources sector.
  • An unrestricted Australian practicing certificate or be an admitted legal practitioner in New Zealand.
  • An excellent academic record coupled with strong legal skills and a practical mindset.
  • A proactive approach and desire to be an integral member of our leading and supportive team.
  • An ability to work to tight timeframes, collaboratively and at times autonomously.
  • An eagerness to create an exceptional experience for our clients and value empathy, simplicity, and commerciality as we do.

What you can expect from us:

  • We value your wellbeing, both at home and work, and we place a strong emphasis on mental health. If you need support, you'll have it and we'll empower you to harness your personal strengths, navigate uncertainty, embrace opportunities, and effectively manage things within your control.
  • We encourage applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to First Nations, LGBTIQA+, and neurodivergent individuals, as well as individuals of all ages, cultures, genders, and abilities. We're a safe, inclusive, and equitable workplace and celebrate the diversity of our people.
