Specialist Legal Recruiter | Committed to Building Careers and Teams | Private Practice Australia.
About the Role
A leading construction team in Sydney is seeking a Construction Lawyer with 2–5 years of post-admission experience to join its Construction & Infrastructure practice at a prominent full-service firm. This is your opportunity to work on major projects that shape Sydney's future, from bold new buildings to critical infrastructure like transport and renewable energy.
You'll dive into a mix of hands-on client work, negotiating contracts and appearing in court and strategic tasks like drafting agreements and advising on compliance. With mentorship from experienced partners and exposure to high-profile clients, this role offers a perfect balance of action and analysis to grow your career in a supportive, fast-paced firm.
Key Responsibilities
As a Construction Lawyer, you'll split your time between client-facing action and detailed legal work, including:
* Representing clients in court, tribunals, or arbitration with confidence and clarity.
* Negotiating contracts and advising clients directly to keep projects on track.
* Researching and drafting clear, practical legal advice and contracts for complex deals.
* Preparing claims, submissions, and other documents with precision.
* Collaborating with barristers, engineers, and project teams to tackle challenges and deliver results.
About You
The firm is looking for a motivated lawyer who's passionate about construction and eager to make a difference. You'll bring:
* A keen eye for detail and strong problem-solving skills for complex legal work.
* Confidence to engage with clients and stakeholders while thriving in a team setting.
* A practical, results-driven mindset that balances legal accuracy with commercial goals.
* 2–5 years of post-admission experience, ideally in construction, infrastructure, or related fields.
If you're ready to jump into high-impact projects and grow with a firm that backs its people, this is the role for you.
