THE COMPANY

They are passionate about renewable energy and continually recognised for their lawyers working seamlessly with clients.

Attractive rewards and effective retention strategies also provide consistent growth resulting in great stability for the team. 

THE ROLE

This is a career-defining opportunity reporting to the Executive General Manager and Co Sec focussing on the Construction, Renewable Energy, Oil and Gas and Mining industries.

Duties include providing support to the operational division in both front-end drafting as well as disputes work. 

The successful candidate will be involved in the tender process, award, as well as both delivery and post delivery of projects.

THE CANDIDATE
 

Our client has expressed a strong interest for someone that is solution based, and works effectively with clients with a proven ability to mitigate risk. 

You will have a minimum of 5 years post admission experience, ideally in-house but candidates coming from a recognised private practice are also encouraged to apply. 

Your experience will be focussed in construction, renewable energy, oil, gas and/or mining.

You will also have a proactive and flexible approach with the ability to work autonomously, well-developed problem solving, decision making skills, and the ability to influence in an informative and intelligible manner.

As part of a dynamic leadership team you can expect to be involved in strategy development utilising your combined technical legal skills and commercial acumen to add value to the organisation.

THE  BENEFITS

  • Remuneration is highly attractive and a market-leading package will be negotiated with the individual.
  • It will appeal to candidates at the upper-mid to high-end of the market for Senior Associates and Special Counsels.
  • This is a highly professional yet relaxed work environment centred on technical competence, mutual respect, and a collaborative mindset. 
  • Our client is more focussed on the right culture fit than the availability of this individual therefore they are willing to consider a candidate in either a Full-time or Part-time capacity with openness to considering some WFH options.
OUR EXPERIENCE

With 30 years as specialist consultants to the legal profession, Law Staff has an impressive history of facilitating discreet moves for lawyers at all levels 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. 

THE NEXT STEPS

During Covid, Law Staff offers the options of a virtual meeting or a lounge room setting for a relaxed discussion, allowing you to comfortably provide us with an understanding of your skillset and interests. 

In an effort to secure your opportunity for an uncompromisingly confidential discussion on this role, please quote REF: IH250821 and email your details through to Craig Ashton-Sward (craig@lawstaff.com.au) or Bianca Calder (bianca@lawstaff.com.au).

If this role is not entirely suitable then we would still enjoy the opportunity of hearing from you. We often work on roles that are not advertised, with a range of positions across private practice and in-house.  

We look forward to engaging with shortlisted candidates.
