The Company
This is a large, complex and well-established organisation with a significant Australian footprint and a highly regarded in-house legal team.
Legal is a true business partner and works closely with internal stakeholders across multiple service streams. This is not a narrow back‑office legal role. It is a hands‑on commercial role where legal is involved in helping the organisation get things done properly.
The Role
This role has a strong commercial contracts focus.
Working closely with other experienced lawyers in the team, you will draft, review and negotiate a range of commercial agreements while also advising the business on practical legal and risk issues.
Your work will include:
* drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts
* advising internal stakeholders on contractual issues, risk and obligations
* supporting procurement, supplier and service agreements
* assisting with governance, compliance and regulatory matters
* advising on property and leasing matters where required
* assisting with disputes, investigations and broader legal issues
This is a good role for a lawyer who wants the core of their work to be commercial contracts, but who also wants the breadth that comes from working in a large in‑house legal team.
About You
You will have 4-8 years’ PAE with strong commercial contracts experience.
You may currently be in private practice and looking for your first in‑house move, or you may already be in‑house and looking for a broader role in a larger organisation.
You will bring:
* strong contract drafting and negotiation skills
* good commercial judgement
* the ability to translate legal issues into clear, practical advice
* confidence dealing with internal stakeholders
* a willingness to be hands‑on and work across a broad range of matters
Experience with procurement, services agreements, governance, regulatory issues or disputes will be useful, but the key requirement is a strong commercial contracts foundation.
Benefits
* $165-180k package + benefits
* Strong, experienced and supportive legal team
* Genuine breadth, with contracts as the core focus
* Large, stable organisation
* WFH (1-2 days) and flexible working arrangements
* Good pathway for a lawyer wanting to build a rounded in‑house skillset
