IN-HOUSE – Litigation (& Commercial) Senior Counsel 5-10 PQE

Burgess Paluch has had substantial success recruiting for this leading company over the past few years. We have a new role for a 5-10 year lawyer to join the growing friendly and dynamic team.

Our client is a premier international company with offices in cities around the world and thousands of staff in Australia. The company operates in the commercial, supplies, services, insurance spaces and assists Australians including in regional and rural Australia. The company has specifically advised that it is interested in litigation/dispute resolution lawyers, but you should have a top-tier or mid-tier (or in-house) background. This is a diverse, interesting and challenging in-house legal role. With a positive outlook, this role will appeal to a capable litigation and commercial lawyer looking for an in-house counsel role in which they can enjoy assisting with the development and management of dispute resolution, legal functions and commercial contracts.

This role is broad and will provide substantial responsibility and opportunity. You will work alongside a highly respected and down to earth ex-top tier Senior General Counsel. The business requires substantial legal/advice work and this role will involve ongoing work on complex commercial and  contracts and agreements and litigation. You will be involved in managing relationships with stakeholders and suppliers. There will also be the opportunity to utilise other broad legal skill sets. 

Litigation work will include general commercial litigation, disputes with suppliers, matters relating to defective product claims, and misleading and deceptive conduct, and some high level debt recovery (low value work is briefed out externally). Commercial work will include exciting contract negotiation and drafting, deals and working with high level stakeholders.
  
You will enjoy applying your commercial acumen as well as your technical skills in this legal role. With the chance to work on complex and significant contracts and projects, and with excellent support systems on offer this is a rare opportunity in the market. You will possess a minimum of 5 years (and no more than 10 years) experience working in the commercial legal field, either in-house or for a strong law firm.   

This role is exclusive to Burgess Paluch Legal Recruitment. Any direct or third party applications to the company will be forwarded to Burgess Paluch for review.
