THE FIRM

As a prominent player in the commercial sector on a national scale, this leading firm offers comprehensive services to clients nationwide.

Within the large Brisbane construction team, you'll work specifically with two prominent partners while being supported by a large team of Senior Associates, Associates and Lawyers, as well as ample administrative support.

THE PERSON

This role will suit a dynamic and motivated individual who is interested in their continued career progression within one of Queensland's premier construction practices.

A minimum of 10 years PAE is essential, together with proven team leadership qualities and a genuine interest in guiding and mentoring less experienced lawyers within the team.
