You'll demonstrate strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with clients, supporting them as they navigate high-profile and often challenging issues. You’ll model the highest standards of integrity and professional conduct.
You'll contribute to negotiations, draft and review contracts, and demonstrate strong analytical skills, commercial awareness, and sound judgment when addressing legal issues.
You’ll be passionate about making a contribution to the future of NSW.
