Government Defence and National Security Lawyers
Unique Opportunity at the Intersection of Defence, Law, and International Security Environment
This is a unique opportunity to be part of an emergent practice area at the intersection of defence, law, and the international security environment. We are looking for lawyers with excellent legal skills who can overlay strategic thinking about the Defence, security and international environments; have the mindset for and a commitment to meaningful, professional work and the progression of the national interest; and who appreciate the benefits of private practice.
We value advisory skills and the ability to guide clients through evolving technology, political and policy trends, alongside traditional legal issues. Liaison, engagement and representative acumen will be important; you will collaborate with agencies and key staff in the Defence and national security community to support Australia's sovereign and strategic industrial capabilities, including within projects, acquisition and sustainment, and international regulatory regimes.
You will be part of a practice area enabled to leverage the capability of a national, independent, full-service law firm, with excellent support and resourcing. Work alongside the most capable lawyers and partners in the country, within a firm that has demonstrated track record at being amongst the best at what they do, and who consider their people to be their strongest asset.
