Job Description

Lawyer: Construction

What's in it for you?

  • Career-defining mentoring from an ex-top tier construction partner.
  • High-profile projects ($600M+ contracts) + complex disputes in one role.
  • Polished yet laid-back boutique culture with a seriously stylish CBD office.

About your new employer:

  • Boutique advisory firm founded by a group of ex-top tier directors.
  • Known for their outsourced General Counsel model — giving lawyers unique access to the "inside" of their clients' businesses.
  • International client base across major industries, with matters spanning big-ticket deals through to day-to-day advisory.
  • A tight-knit team of ~15 staff, polished yet laid-back culture, and a seriously enviable office.

About the role:

  • Join the construction team working across both front-end and back-end matters.
  • Exposure to everything from $600M+ contracts to complex adjudications and disputes.
  • Direct client access — working side by side with in-house teams, giving you true insight into how businesses operate.
  • Opportunity to work under a seasoned ex-top tier partner with over a decade at the helm of a national firm's construction practice.
  • Broad scope of work: procurement, drafting/negotiating contracts, disputes, adjudications, advisory, and strategy.

The ideal candidate:

  • 3–5 years' PAE in construction law (front-end, back-end or both).
  • Strong drafting and advisory skills with a commercial mindset.
  • Keen to learn from an established leader while taking on real responsibility.
  • A motivated self-starter who enjoys being client-facing and building long-term relationships.
