Senior Legal Counsel – Construction / Commercial / Corporate | 5+ years’ PAE

Lawmee is a tech-enabled marketplace used by 250+ law firms and companies, providing lawyers with direct access to secondment and interim opportunities. The marketplace includes opportunities with ASX-listed companies, multinationals, GTEs, private businesses, and law firms.

Lawmee is working with a leading manufacturing company to secure an experienced Corporate / Commercial / Construction Lawyer on a contracting basis. 

Commencing as soon as possible, the engagement is expected to run for 6 to 12 months, with the potential to extend or transition into a permanent position. Although full-time availability is preferred, a 4-day a week arrangement will be considered for the right lawyer.

This role offers the chance to work closely with key stakeholders across the business, providing practical legal advice on a broad range of commercial and construction-related matters within a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

Some of your key responsibilities may include but are not limited to: 

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of construction, commercial and consumer contracts. 

• Advising on contract management, commercial risk, compliance and corporate governance matters. 

• Supporting EPCM projects, corporate transactions and strategic business initiatives, including M&A activity. 

• Providing strategic and day-to-day legal advice to business leaders and key internal stakeholders. 

• Contributing to legal training, investigations, company secretarial activities and broader risk management initiatives. 

• Delivering practical legal support across a wide range of operational, commercial and strategic matters.

We would like to hear from lawyers with 5+ years’ PAE, ideally gained in leading national or international firms or within well-regarded in-house teams. Experience across construction, commercial and corporate matters will be highly regarded. This role requires an experienced lawyer capable of operating autonomously in a fast-paced environment.
