Job Details

Full Job Description

MinterEllison is one of Australia’s largest independent law and consulting firms. With a heritage of almost 200 years, we are known for our excellence, and our authentic and enduring relationships with our clients, our people and our communities. Clients seek out MinterEllison to help them solve complex problems every day. We do this by our full-service legal offering and complementary consulting offering.

We offer opportunities to work on industry-leading mandates for top-tier clients, while being part of a high-performing and collaborative team that values excellence, diversity of thought, curiosity, and inclusion. We value our people and empower them to achieve their ambitions - with the support, trust and autonomy to grow their careers in meaningful ways.

MinterEllison Flex - Redefine the Way You Work

For a decade Flex has been at the vanguard of strategic legal secondment opportunities in the Australian market. Flex gives you the platform to access interim roles with a diverse client base across every state and sector. We provide you with the professional support and client relationship intelligence to enhance your existing skills, grow your experience, and unlock new possibilities in your career.

With the largest independent top-tier partnership in Australia, MinterEllison has a unique depth of enduring client relationships built on curiosity, excellence, and collaboration. Our proximity to our clients' businesses surfaces off-market and unparalleled secondment opportunities including:

Strategic projects and business transformations,
Major transactions and disputes, and
Capability coverage and leave coverage within client teams.

Ways of Working

At the heart of our Flex model is a genuine commitment to your success. We surround our Flex lawyers with the resources needed to ensure their success, and relationships within the firm to propel their progress.

Skills and Experience

Flex lawyers typically have proven in-house experience, supported by top-tier private practice training, and can operate autonomously in lean environments.

Whilst we place lawyers across most practice areas, currently we are particularly interested in speaking with lawyers with experience in the following areas and sectors:

Energy Regulation
General corporate commercial
Cyber security and technology
Corporate Governance

If any of these areas reflect where you have built your expertise, we would love to start a conversation.

What You Bring

You are not just experienced — you are exceptional. You likely have:

5+ years PQE, with experience at a top-tier firm and/or in-house or secondment roles
A genuine client-first mindset and a proven ability to build lasting, trusted relationships
Strong collaboration skills forged in fast-paced, high-performing environments
An instinct for continuous learning and a commitment to staying at the forefront of your field

What You Gain

Joining MinterEllison Flex means more than flexibility. It means access to:

Exclusive secondment opportunities curated to help you reach your next career milestone
Dedicated support from our Flex team and firm Partners — people who are genuinely invested in your success
A wide range of firm resources to support your ongoing development, learning, and growth
