As a Corporate Lawyer, you will provide in-house legal, regulatory, and governance advice to Zurich’s businesses in Australia, to enable them to achieve their strategic and commercial goals, protect and preserve the company’s assets, and identify, manage and mitigate legal, regulatory, and reputational risks.

In particular, the role involves drafting, advising on, and negotiating commercial technology contracts and providing professional legal advice on a broad range of matters in the following areas:

  • general corporate and commercial law
  • technology, branding and intellectual property

  • financial services law including financial advice and distribution law
  • regulatory inquiries and investigations
  • competition and consumer protection law
  • commercial disputes and litigation

Zurich wants to attract the best talent, and we acknowledge that talent might not always be available full-time. Therefore, we will also consider part-time working arrangements for this role.

Please note this is a 12-month contract role and can be considered as a part-time role, 3 days a week.

Important to your success - let's grow together  

  • Recognised Australian legal qualifications and eligible to practice law in New South Wales.
  • 5+ years PQE experience across general corporate and commercial law disciplines working in a law firm or in house position.
  • Experience drafting and negotiating complex technology contracts.
  • Experience working in and knowledge of the insurance and broader financial services industry would be advantageous
  • Ability to receive instructions, analytically assess issues and communicate advice clearly and in a non-legalistic way.
  • Strong written communications skills and ability to produce a variety of documents that demonstrate command of language, clarity of thought, and orderliness of presentation.
  • Strong interpersonal skills with ability to build and maintain trustful, working relationships at all levels of the organisation; able to demonstrate professional and tactful customer relationship skills.

There are so many reasons why Zurich is a great place to be, but here are just a few:

15 days personal/carer’s leave (empowering our people to manage their own wellbeing); Grow, and thrive in your career (we support and encourage it) with award winning training programs; Work with global, diverse, and inclusive teams; Explore your passions, fuel innovation, drive equity, collaborate and make a positive difference beyond your role; Access programs to stay healthy and feel healthier, AUD$295 new starter e-voucher for your WFH set up (flex work - hybrid working), and other great benefits through our Shine portal; Access to Family Care (parental leave); Volunteer; Work in our state-of-the-art Green Star rated offices (when you are in the office); and dress for your day. We also plant a tree for every new employee – one of many local initiatives driving our contribution to ambitious global sustainability targets…
