With a significant pipeline of major government and private sector work secured across Australia, an opportunity has arisen for an experienced Construction & Infrastructure Partner or a Senior Special Counsel ready for partnership to join the firm's growing national practice.

The Role

Joining a well-established and profitable team, you will work alongside respected practitioners advising on some of Australia's most significant infrastructure developments. Supported by a strong back-end construction capability, your practice will encompass:

  • Public and private sector project delivery
  • Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and alternative delivery models
  • Construction and project documentation
  • Procurement, tendering and contract negotiation
  • Strategic project risk allocation and advisory work
The position offers genuine autonomy, direct client access, and a platform to further develop your practice within a nationally recognised team.

About You

You will likely possess between 15 and 30 years' post-admission experience with a strong focus on front-end construction, infrastructure and major projects.

You have established credibility within the market and maintain trusted relationships with government bodies, developers, financiers, consultants and Tier 1 or Tier 2 contractors.

Equally important will be your commercial approach, leadership capability and commitment to mentoring and developing lawyers within your team.
