Job Overview
Michael Page is seeking a high-performing Commercial Litigation Lawyer to join our client's award-winning practice in Canberra or Sydney. As a key member of the team, you will handle complex and high-stakes litigation matters, working closely with clients and senior counsel to achieve successful results.

About Our Client
Our client offers a supportive and challenging environment where you can develop and thrive as a leader in commercial litigation. With a strong presence in Canberra and Sydney, this firm provides excellent career advancement opportunities within an award-winning firm known for its integrity, client focus, and legal excellence. Led by partners with top-tier backgrounds, they are known for excellence and uphold a strong reputation for achieving successful results for their clients.

The Role
This role is designed for a high-performing litigator who is ready to take on significant responsibility within a dynamic and supportive team. You will be empowered to make an impact, advocate for clients effectively, and build a rewarding career within our client's leading practice.

Key Responsibilities
- Litigation Management & Strategy: Oversee and manage end-to-end commercial litigation matters from initial instruction to resolution.
- Drafting & Pleadings: Prepare a wide array of legal documents, including pleadings, affidavits, witness statements, and submissions. You will draft concise and persuasive documents for use in court proceedings and in negotiations.
- Court Appearances & Advocacy: Represent clients in various jurisdictions, including the Supreme Court, Magistrates/District Courts, and the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT). You will appear at hearings, trials, and mediations, advocating effectively on behalf of clients.
- Client Advisory & Relationship Management: Serve as a trusted advisor to clients across a range of industries, including property, construction, and commercial sectors. You will provide sound, timely advice while building and maintaining strong client relationships.
- Building & Construction Disputes: Act as a subject matter expert in building and construction litigation, particularly in relation to the Security of Payments Act (SOPA). You'll work on both back-end disputes and, where applicable, front-end matters to support clients' business objectives within the construction sector.
- Property & Leasing Disputes: Engage in disputes involving property and leasing, advising clients on contentious matters related to property transactions, commercial leases, landlord-tenant disputes, and other real estate-related conflicts.
- Team Collaboration & Mentorship: Collaborate with and provide mentorship to junior solicitors and paralegals within the team, fostering a supportive learning environment.

Requirements
- Experience: 5 years PQE, ideally most of that spent in commercial litigation.
- Specialisation: Strong experience in Building & Construction litigation (back-end, though both front and back-end experience is advantageous).
- Essential Skills: Expertise in SOPA (Security of Payments Act) is a must.
- Additional Skills: Property experience is beneficial, but not essential.
- Professional Competencies: Exceptional drafting and communication skills. Ability to engage and build strong client relationships and support the lead Partner in building the practice.

What We Offer
A competitive salary package estimated at around $170,000 AUD per annum, depending on experience and location. This includes a base salary, superannuation, and performance bonuses. If you're an experienced commercial litigation lawyer with a passion for complex legal challenges, we would love to hear from you.
