One of our closest client is a specialist law firm dedicated to serving Australia's building and construction industry. The firm advises principals, consultants, developers, contractors and subcontractors nationwide across commercial contracting, dispute resolution, claims, and regulatory navigation.

The firm is known for providing accessible, practical and high‐quality legal services on projects ranging from civil construction and apartment towers to mixed‐use commercial developments and infrastructure projects across renewables, road, rail, water and more.

Due to continued growth, they are looking for a 1–2 PQE Lawyer with experience in construction or property law to join their close‐knit and high‐performing team.

You'll work directly with partners and senior lawyers on high‐quality matters, gaining hands‐on experience across both front‐end and back‐end construction work—including:
