  • Preparation of claims for expert determination, adjudication, arbitration and litigation.
  • Preparing formal legal opinions.
  • Business development and networking activities.
  • Contributing to department know-how.

Skills for the Role:

  • 2-4 years' experience as a lawyer with construction dispute experience gained within a top-tier firm (or by a combination of top-tier and in-house) preferably within the resources and infrastructure sectors.
  • excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • superior drafting ability.
  • a commercial approach and an ability to articulate and negotiate effectively.
  • strong attention to detail with well-developed analytical skills.
  • the ability to be team-focused in providing leadership and mentoring to the juniors in the team whilst also working independently.
  • a proactive, positive and energetic approach with a commitment to providing excellent service, and a desire to interact with the market and build client relationships.

What makes Ashurst a great place to work?

We offer you all the things you should expect from an international law firm, some of which include:

  • competitive remuneration with the flexibility to reward high performance;
  • flexible working;
  • complimentary gym memberships;
  • corporate health plans;
  • a global professional development offering for all employees; and
  • an industry-leading programme that celebrates diversity and inclusion.

We are committed to delivering positive impacts to our communities through our Social Impact programme, with a strong emphasis on working with First Nations people through our pro bono practice.

We aim to recruit, retain and promote the best people from the widest possible talent pools. We are committed to offering a safe and welcoming environment for all employees to ensure they are supported to work at their best.

Beyond this, what sets Ashurst apart from others is our global strength, our drive to innovate and collaborate, and our commitment to excellence. It is these values that make Ashurst a unique place to work.
