The Opportunity

This role is perfect for a Property or Construction Lawyer who’s ready to step away from billable hours and into a dynamic in-house environment. Working closely with a supportive Senior Legal Counsel, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to a wide variety of legal and commercial matters across the business — from drafting and negotiating contracts, to advising senior stakeholders and managing external legal providers.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring projects run smoothly while identifying and mitigating legal risks. This is a collaborative, family-oriented culture that values your input, supports your professional growth, and respects your time outside work.

On Offer

  • A rare move in-house — no billables, no time sheets.
  • Regular hours (9am–5pm) with a genuine focus on balance and wellbeing.
  • Work closely with a friendly and experienced Senior Legal Counsel who will mentor and support you.
  • Exposure to large-scale property development and construction projects across Victoria and NSW.
  • A collaborative, open-door culture with a strong team ethos.
  • Salary package circa $90K–$100K, subject to experience.

The Ideal Candidate

You’ll bring:

  • At least 1–3 years’ PAE in property, construction, or development law.
  • Proficiency in Mandarin / Chinese (both written and verbal) – essential for stakeholder communication.
