About the Role

We have a newly created opportunity for an experienced senior lawyer to join our Office of General Counsel, based in Sydney. This is a substantive in-house role offering the opportunity to advise senior leaders on commercial and compliance matters central to the firm's operations.

Reporting to the General Counsel, you will advise partners and senior stakeholders on a broad range of internal commercial legal matters — including client engagement terms, supplier agreements, and contracting issues — as well as legal profession compliance and conflicts management.

Key responsibilities will include:

Advising partners and senior stakeholders on commercial legal matters and legal profession compliance, including the identification and management of conflicts of interest
Reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts such as client engagement terms, supplier agreements, confidentiality agreements, escrow agreements, and reliance letters
Managing conflicts of interest processes, including use of Intapp as required
Proactive management of commercial and compliance risks, providing clear recommendations and practical solutions
Supporting the development and implementation of risk mitigation strategies
Ensuring compliance with relevant internal policies, legal profession laws, and regulatory requirements

The role requires a high degree of autonomy, with sound judgement exercised on matters requiring escalation and discretion.

About You

Our ideal candidate will bring:

Minimum 6 years post-qualification experience, including experience in a comparable role within a law firm's in-house or general counsel function
Strong knowledge of Australian contract law, corporate law, and regulatory compliance (including legal profession regulatory frameworks)
Demonstrated familiarity with conflicts management, including proficiency in Intapp or equivalent conflicts management systems
Strong drafting, negotiation, and contract advisory skills across a range of commercial agreements
High professional standards, with a commitment to accuracy, ethical conduct, and discretion in handling sensitive information
Sound critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, with a practical and commercial focus
Confidence to provide frank advice and navigate differing perspectives across all levels of the firm
