This is a rare opportunity to join one of Australia’s most highly regarded Technology, Media & Telecommunications teams, consistently ranked Band 1, and at the forefront of cyber, data and AI law.

Working within a national practice, you’ll advise on complex, high-stakes matters including cyber incident response, data governance, privacy compliance and emerging AI regulation. This is a role that places you directly in front of executive teams and boards, helping organisations navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and threat landscape. The work is fast-moving, high-impact and often business-critical well beyond traditional technology transactions.

What You’ll Work On
  • Cyber & Incident Response: advising on breaches, crisis management and regulator engagement
  • Data, Privacy & Surveillance: complex advisory, compliance frameworks and investigations
  • AI & Emerging Technology: governance frameworks, risk management and regulatory compliance
  • Regulatory Investigations: acting on enforcement actions and high-profile matters
  • Cross-Practice Collaboration: working with corporate, disputes and regulatory teams on multi-disciplinary matters. 
About You
We’re seeking a lawyer who brings:
  • 4+ years’ PAE with experience in cyber, privacy, data protection or regulatory matters
  • Background from a top-tier, national firm or relevant in-house environment
  • Strong technical ability and commercial judgment
  • The ability to simplify complex legal and technical issues for clients
  • Confidence working with senior stakeholders and contributing to client relationships. 
Exposure to AI, cyber incident response or regulatory investigations will be highly regarded, but is not essential.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work at the forefront of cyber, privacy and AI regulation
  • Genuine board-level advisory experience
  • Market-leading remuneration
  • Generous incentive plan recognising both billable work and broader contribution
  • Discounts across retail, health and travel
  • Fully subsidised gym memberships, flu vaccinations, and skin checks
  • Catered snacks and meals in-office
  • Wellbeing support including counselling, financial coaching, and access to an in-house psychologist
  • Hybrid working supported by premium WFH equipment
  • Ability to purchase additional annual leave
  • 26 weeks paid parental leave for permanent employees - no minimum service
  • Structured career development with clear progression pathways
  • Recognition programs and annual awards
  • International secondment opportunities via a global alliance network
  • Opportunities to contribute to social impact, reconciliation, pro bono and sustainability initiatives. 
The Process: 
We offer flexible interview options, in-person or virtual via FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, or phone. Choose between a one-on-one discussion or a panel interview, ensuring you can present your skills and career goals comfortably.

Transparency is key, so by the end of our meeting, you’ll receive a detailed PD to review at your leisure.
