Full Job Description

Join our client on a secondment basis for a 14-month maternity cover contract.
Flexible working arrangements.

Clario connects Australian-qualified lawyers with leading in-house legal teams on a flexible basis.

Our team has deep legal industry experience in lawyer engagement, legal operations, technology and customer experience.

Our people have worked with 65% of Australia’s leading corporate and government organisations and are experts at providing seconded lawyers for special projects or helping in-house legal teams manage peaks and troughs in demand.

We are the perfect employment model for lawyers who are:

returning to the workforce after a career break
transitioning to independent contracting
seeking to balance work with travel or study commitments
making the move from private practice to an in-house legal role.

About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Counsel — Franchising to join our client on a secondment basis for a 14-month maternity cover contract, with strong potential to extend.

Our client is an established real estate and hospitality business with a significant Australian footprint. This role offers a unique opportunity to work closely with the legal, sales and franchising teams, providing expert advice and support on a broad range of franchising matters.

This is a senior, hands-on and business-facing role. You will work closely with the General Counsel, Head of Franchising and broader commercial teams, acting as a trusted adviser across a large and active franchise network. The role is effectively the General Counsel’s 2IC and will suit a confident, commercially minded franchising lawyer who can operate with autonomy from day one.

This role is Melbourne-based, with a minimum of three days per week in the office.

Key Responsibilities

Provide comprehensive legal advice on franchising matters, including franchise sales and purchases, renewals, disputes and ongoing franchise network issues.
Draft, review and negotiate franchising documentation and related commercial agreements.
Work closely with the Head of Franchising and other senior stakeholders to support strategic and commercial objectives.
Provide practical, solutions-focused legal advice across adjacent areas including marketing, procurement and finance as required.
Support the management of franchising disputes and risk across the network.
Guide and support junior members of the legal team.
Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure legal compliance and mitigate risk.
Contribute to a lean, highly capable and well-automated legal function.

Qualifications

Australian-qualified lawyer with strong experience in franchising law.
A minimum of 8PQE.
Deep knowledge of Australian franchising legislation, regulations and compliance requirements.
Experience advising on franchise network matters, renewals, disputes and related commercial issues.
Excellent drafting, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Strong commercial judgement and the ability to provide clear, practical advice.
Experience working with a reputable law firm or in-house legal team.

About You
You are a senior commercial lawyer with genuine specialist expertise within franchising. The successful candidate will need strong technical capability and confidence advising independently, while sharing knowledge and assiting in the up-skilling of junior team members.

You will bring:

Significant experience advising on Australian franchising law and franchise network matters.
Strong commercial judgment and a practical, solutions-focused style.
Confidence operating autonomously in a senior in-house or embedded advisory role.
Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
The ability to build strong relationships with senior business stakeholders.
Experience supporting or mentoring junior lawyers.
A calm, collaborative and resilient approach in a busy legal function.
Full Australian working rights — we are unable to provide sponsorship at this time.
