We are looking for a in-house lawyer to join our client in Melbourne on an immediate start, for a 6-month contract (with high potential for extension).

Our client is an iconic Australian service provider, with an established and supportive in-house legal team. This role will suit a lawyer with a mix of litigation and general commercial experience, who is comfortable stepping into a fast-paced environment and getting across a varied workload quickly.

- Help manage matters efficiently in a busy, fast-moving environment.
- Draft, review and negotiate a variety of legal documents and correspondence.
- Work collaboratively with the broader legal and business teams to deliver timely,



practical advice.
- Step into matters quickly and provide hands-on support with minimal ramp-up time.

About You:

- An Australian qualified, and admitted lawyer with experience across both litigation and general commercial matters.
- Able to start immediately or on short notice.
- Confident operating in a short-term contract role where flexibility and adaptability are key.
- Strong drafting, communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a broader team.
- A practical, down-to-earth approach and willingness to jump in where needed.
- Based in Melbourne or able to work from Melbourne for the duration of the assignment (hybrid).
