Offer description

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; and • 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.

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 Apply now Click APPLY or contact Peter Liaw at Peppercorn Recruitment on 0422 805 803 or email peter@peppercornrecruitment.com.au, quoting reference number 4033273.
