We are partnering with a leading ASX-listed company seeking an accomplished disputes lawyer to join its established, high-performing legal team.

This is a senior position offering exposure to complex, high-profile litigation and the opportunity to influence legal strategy and commercial outcomes at an organisational level.

The Opportunity

  • Lead and independently manage significant, complex commercial disputes and litigation.
  • Advise on major litigation, class actions, regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings.
  • Develop and drive litigation strategies, balancing legal, commercial and reputational considerations.
  • Work closely with senior executives and key stakeholders on sensitive and high-impact matters.
  • Manage relationships with leading external law firms.
  • Join a collaborative, experienced legal team with a strong reputation for the quality of its work.

About You

  • An experienced disputes lawyer, ideally from a leading national or international law firm or sophisticated in-house legal environment.
  • Strong background in complex commercial litigation, with exposure to class actions or regulatory proceedings viewed favourably.
  • Commercially astute, with the ability to look beyond the legal issues and consider broader business implications.
  • Confident advising senior stakeholders and independently managing significant matters.
  • A strategic thinker who enjoys complex legal challenges and working collaboratively.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

  • Exposure to complex, high-value litigation and challenging legal matters.
  • Opportunity to transition from private practice into a commercially focused in-house role.
  • Greater involvement in strategic decision-making rather than the day-to-day procedural aspects of litigation.
  • Significant autonomy and ownership of matters from a commercial and legal perspective.
  • Work alongside experienced legal professionals and leading external law firms.
  • Flexible hybrid working arrangements offering greater work-life balance.

This opportunity would suit a senior private practice litigator considering a move in-house, or an established in-house lawyer seeking greater complexity, autonomy and strategic involvement.
