In-House Legal Counsel | Commercial Property & Leasing
Join a leading property owner and investment group and play a key role supporting a high-quality commercial and retail portfolio.
This is an opportunity for a commercially astute lawyer looking to move beyond private practice or further develop their in‐house career within a fast‐paced property environment.
Working directly with senior leadership and operational stakeholders, you'll provide practical legal advice across leasing, contracts, compliance and property‐related matters, becoming a trusted advisor to the business.
Your focus will include:
- Drafting, negotiating and reviewing commercial and retail leases
- Preparing lease renewals, assignments, surrenders, licences and variations

- Reviewing supplier, contractor and service agreements
- Providing legal support to property, finance, facilities and executive teams
- Managing legal compliance and governance requirements
- Coordinating external legal advisers where required
- Assisting with disputes, risk management and legal projects across the portfolio
To be successful, you will have:
- Approximately 5-6 years' experience in commercial property and leasing law
- Strong exposure to commercial and/or retail leasing transactions
- Experience gained within a property owner, landlord‐side, real estate, property management or in‐house environment
- Working knowledge of PEXA
- Strong commercial judgement and stakeholder management skills
- A proactive, solutions‐focused approach with the ability to work autonomously
Why This Opportunity?
- High‐profile commercial and retail property portfolio
- Genuine in‐house role with broad commercial exposure
- Direct access to senior decision makers
- Opportunity to influence business outcomes, not just provide legal advice
- Stable and growing property platform
- Sydney CBD offices
- Full‐time office‐based role (5 days per week)
