Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Lendlease Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

We are currently seeking a lawyer to join our Sydney based in-house legal team within the Lendlease Construction business. In this busy and rewarding role you will be a key source of knowledge to the business providing strategic and commercially astute legal advice and represent the business externally to government and private clients, subcontractors and consultants.

Our Construction business is renowned for market-leading project management, design and construction services, predominantly in the defence, health, education, metro station, data centre, arts, mixed use, commercial, and residential sectors.

We love a challenge and solving problems. Our clients come to us when it's important: to handle complexity, drive diversity, offer strategic and long-term value, and to create innovative solutions. Regardless of the size, complexity, value or geographic location of our projects, we are ready to respond to client's briefs. Economies of scale, supply chain relationships, and strategic procurement models also allow us to drive significant value for our customers.

With an incredibly strong pipeline of projects, you will be heavily involved in the end to end of a project lifecycle. Reporting to the Deputy Head of Legal, you will partner with internal and external stakeholders, including the Construction Executive Management Team, to provide proactive, strategic and quality legal advice across the full lifecycle of a project: from project inception, tendering, conversion, through to project mobilisation and delivery (including support with issue / dispute management).

A tertiary education in law and post-qualification legal experience including exposure to a variety of major projects within the construction sector will be essential. You will ideally have worked for a well-respected firm or top tier construction group. Experience in construction and relevant ancillary legal areas including commercial law, litigation and insolvency will be preferred.

If this sounds like the ideal next role in your career, please apply now

At Lendlease we offer workplaces that unite diverse minds; where respect, equitable treatment and equitable opportunity are just the norm. We remain committed to supporting under-represented groups and providing a wide range of inclusion initiatives, so that everyone is supported to thrive.

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is reflected in our Elevate Reconciliation Action Plan, our Bronze Award with the Australian Workplace Equality Index by Pride in Diversity, and our generous parental leave policy of 26 weeks to any parent regardless of gender.

Lendlease welcomes applicants regardless of gender identity, ethnicity, people with a disability, sexual orientation, or life stage. If you do not meet all the criteria or require adjustments to proceed with your application, we encourage you to reach out for a further discussion.
