Corporate Lawyer Role in Dynamic Company
This is an exciting opportunity for a corporate lawyer to join a dynamic, large company in the energy and resources space. The company offers a diverse and interesting in-house legal role where you will play a key part in the business.
The ideal candidate will be a capable commercial / corporate lawyer with at least 5 years PQE and up to about 9 or 10 PQE. They should have training in a well-regarded firm or in-house and possess high EQ. You will work closely with the General Counsel (ex top-tier) in a small team and interact with GMs and Corporate Managers throughout the business.
Your responsibilities will include assisting with the legal function and becoming involved in significant legal matters for the business. This includes general commercial, corporate/mergers & acquisitions, property/leasing, projects, litigation, and insurance. Additionally, you may work on significant contracts, risk mitigation, and compliance. A good drafter with negotiation skills is required.
You should be commercially-minded rather than just a black-letter lawyer. While this role will pay well, the real benefit is the rare opportunity to assist with being a legal advisor in a pro-active, positive iconic company making further headway in the market. Established systems and support are in place, allowing you to make your mark.
To succeed in this role, you will need to manage processes and have high EQ. You should be able to get on well with people from a range of backgrounds and be a good communicator. Training in a well-regarded firm or in-house is preferred, but not essential.
