Senior Lawyer – Building & Construction Law (5+ PAE)

Location: Williamstown, Victoria

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Lawyer with 5+ years PAE to join our growing practice in Williamstown. This role offers the opportunity to work on a diverse range of matters, with a strong focus on building and construction law, while also providing scope to develop and apply your skills across broader areas of practice.

About the Role

As a key member of our team, you will:

  • Advise and act for clients in predominately domestic building disputes (some commercial building advice/disputes), contract drafting, regulatory compliance, and related litigation.
  • Appear in VCAT, Magistrates' Court, County Court and Supreme Court matters.
  • Work closely with builders, contractors, homeowners, and industry stakeholders.
  • Assist with general practice files where needed, providing variety and professional development.
  • Enjoy a supportive, collaborative environment with a hybrid working model (office in Williamstown + remote flexibility).

About You

You will bring:

  • At least 5 years PAE, with proven experience in building & construction law.
  • Strong advocacy, negotiation, and drafting skills.
  • The ability to manage a busy file load independently while working as part of a close-knit team.
  • A client-focused approach with excellent communication skills.
  • Generalist experience across other areas of law (e.g. commercial, property, or litigation) will be highly regarded.

Why Join Us?

  • Hybrid flexibility – balance time between office and home.
  • Opportunity to work on high-quality matters with supportive mentorship.
  • A friendly, approachable team culture in a Williamstown-based office close to the bay.
  • Competitive remuneration package, tailored to experience.

If you are looking to take the next step in your career and thrive in a collaborative, client-focused firm, we would love to hear from you.
