This isn't your average opportunity. This role offers a truly elite package, designed for lawyers who value both a high-performance career and a high-quality life.

You'll enjoy 5 weeks of annual leave, a generous remuneration package with performance bonuses, and one of the most sought-after perks in the legal industry: no daily billable targets.

We're looking for a 2 to 4 PAE back-end construction lawyer from a top-tier or mid-tier firm ready to step into a rewarding role that champions balance without compromising on excellence.

In the Back-end Projects & Construction team at a top-tier firm, your work will be varied and intellectually stimulating, offering exposure to disputes across:

• Energy, Resources & Major Projects: LNG projects, energy & renewables, and major water pipelines.
• Transport & Social Infrastructure: High-profile transport and rail projects, alongside social infrastructure such as hospitals.
• Large-Scale Developments: Integrated resort developments, including casinos, hotels, and residential projects.
• Strategic Transactions & Advisory: Complex infrastructure transactions, joint ventures, and town planning and project management matters.

The firm’s clients include developers, resource companies and governments and you’ll also have the opportunity to work on cross-border and international projects for a diverse portfolio of clients, collaborating within a nationally connected team.

The successful candidate will enjoy:

• Elite Remuneration: Receive top-of-market salary with a 15% performance bonus for exceeding targets.
• True Work-Life Balance: Enjoy 5 weeks of annual leave, flexible work arrangements, and the option to purchase additional leave. No daily billable targets - just record your time for client billing.
• Unrivalled Career Investment: Access best-in-class training, a Scholarship for Individual Excellence, and even Ivy League programs at Harvard or Oxford.
• Comprehensive Parental Support: Industry-leading parental leave with superannuation contributions on both paid and unpaid leave.
• Purpose-Driven Work: Make a impact through our dedicated Pro Bono Program.

This could be you if you have:

• Around 2 - 4 years' PAE from a top-tier firm.
