Flex lawyers typically have proven in-house experience, supported by top-tier private practice training, and can operate autonomously in lean environments. Whilst we place lawyers across most practice areas, currently we are particularly interested in speaking with lawyers with experience in the following areas and sectors:
- Employment Law
- Data Protection & Privacy
- Corporate, Commercial, Technology & Procurement — across both private and public sector
If any of these areas reflect where you have built your expertise, we would love to start a conversation.
Additional Requirements:
- At least 5 years' post-qualification legal experience
- High Court of Australia registration or ability to get one
- Full work rights in Australia
We encourage applications from people of all ages, abilities, cultural backgrounds, genders (including trans or gender diverse), LGBTQ+ people and those with carer responsibilities. We particularly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply.
