Front-end Projects Lawyer

  
The Firm
One of Australia's leading independent law firms, providing legal services across major transactions, projects and significant disputes. The culture is built around excellence, commitment, collaboration and respect, with a real focus on inclusion, diversity and creating opportunities for its people at every stage of their career.

The Timing
The Brisbane front end projects team is growing, and there's space for an Associate to step in and take on meaningful work from day one. With a pipeline of Queensland, national and international mandates, the next few years offer the kind of exposure that builds a strong projects practice.

The Work Itself
One matter might involve front end construction work on a major infrastructure project, where you're drafting and negotiating the suite of documents that get a build off the ground. Another could see you advising on a project acquisition, working through the structuring and contractual framework that underpins how a development is brought to market. Another still might be a government-led project or a significant real estate development, requiring you to navigate the commercial, regulatory and stakeholder layers that come with high-profile work.

Across all of it, you'll be working nationally alongside colleagues on some of the largest mandates in the country, with the variety and responsibility that comes from a genuinely collaborative team.

Where You'll Land
A firm where flexibility is standard rather than an exception, and where wellbeing, development and inclusion are taken seriously. You'll have five weeks annual leave, 26 weeks gender-neutral paid parental leave with superannuation paid on both paid and unpaid leave, a comprehensive wellbeing program, and strong learning and development opportunities including an international study scholarship and national training and mentoring initiatives.

Sound Like You?
You'll have 2-4 years PAE with experience in general front end construction, project acquisition and development. You're looking to build a serious career in the projects space and want to work alongside some of the brightest practitioners in the industry.
