This is a standout opportunity to work alongside a Partner recognised for excellence in Construction Law by both The Best Lawyers in Australia and Doyle’s Guide.

Experience meaningful, high-quality work without the top-tier grind. Here, you’ll find a supportive culture that truly values your time both in and out of the office. The best of both worlds? We think so.

As part of its strategic growth, the Brisbane office is now seeking a Construction Associate to join its dynamic team.

This role is ideal for a motivated lawyer who is ready to take ownership of their files and work with key client, all while receiving ongoing mentorship from industry-recognised leaders.

You’ll join a highly regarded practice that is actively involved in some of the region’s most high-profile infrastructure litigation matters. The role will see you acting for a prestigious client base including Engineering firms, Developers, Construction and Project Managers, Builders, Certifiers, and Valuers.

With a portfolio spanning both public entities and leading private companies across Australia, you’ll become part of a dedicated team known for its strong industry reputation and deep expertise.

You will enjoy autonomy in managing your own caseload, free from micromanagement, and will regularly handle disputes involving Australian Standard Construction Contracts and adjudications under the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act (BIFA).

THE PERKS?
This role offers a suite of exceptional benefits designed to support both your professional growth and personal well-being:
  • Genuine Work-Life Balance: Experience a culture that respects your time. It’s common for the office to clear out by 5:30 PM.
  • Fully Equipped: You’ll receive a company laptop and phone fully covered by the firm.
  • Leading Parental Leave: Benefit from an inclusive policy offering 16 weeks of paid parental leave for all caregivers, with no waiting period. Superannuation contributions continue throughout your leave.
With over 30 years as specialist consultants to the legal profession, Law Staff has an impressive history of facilitating discreet moves for legal practitioners and has an uncompromising commitment to confidentiality.
  
Most importantly, we treat this as a two-way information sharing session to allow you to make an informed decision whether to move forward with an expression of interest to this employer. We will only ever confer with our client after you have done your research and at a time when you have expressed in writing that you are ready to take that cautious next step. Absolutely everything stays in the vault until that time.
