About the Company

This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading and fast-growing property developer with a strong track record of delivering landmark residential and mixed-use projects across Australia. With over $6 billion in active and upcoming developments, this business has positioned itself as one of the most dynamic and well-capitalised players in the market.

Known for its innovative approach and commitment to quality, the business offers a high-performing yet collaborative and people-focused environment. You'll be joining a lean, commercially sharp team at a pivotal time of continued expansion.

The Opportunity

As Senior Legal Counsel, you'll lead the legal function across Development, Construction, Sales, and Finance, providing legal advice on a wide range of commercial matters. This is a hands-on role with exposure to complex development and construction contracts, joint ventures, and corporate governance, as well as day-to-day legal support across the business.

While this is not strictly a project finance or infrastructure position, experience with property development, construction law, or real estate transactions will be highly regarded.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review and advise on a broad range of commercial agreements, deeds, and contracts
• Support legal aspects of major development and construction projects
• Liaise with external legal counsel and manage contract negotiations
• Provide advice on compliance, governance, and regulatory matters
• Assist internal teams with legal queries and documentation across the project lifecycle
• Maintain accurate legal records and support risk management initiatives

What We're Looking For:

• 8+ years' post-admission experience (either in-house or private practice)
• Background in property, development, or construction law
• Strong contract review, negotiation, and drafting skills
• Commercial mindset and ability to communicate legal concepts in plain English
• NSW practising certificate (or eligibility)
• Collaborative, pragmatic, and detail-oriented approach

Why Apply?

• Join a high-performing and values-driven development group
• Be involved in iconic, large-scale property projects
• Take on a broad and influential in-house legal role
• Work closely with senior decision-makers and be part of strategic growth
• Enjoy a supportive culture where your contribution is truly valued

This is a on-site position.
