Our client, a well-established financial services business, is looking for a Legal Counsel to join their in-house legal team on a 12-month contract. This is a genuinely broad role with a high likelihood of converting to permanent, and it would suit someone who enjoys variety and wants to be close to the business.

The team is in a growth and transformation phase, rolling out recent technology and AI platforms across the business, so there's real scope to shape how legal supports that work.

What you'll be doing:
Broad BAU legal work across the business, advising internal stakeholders on day-to-day matters
Supporting technology and AI initiatives as they're rolled out, including the legal and regulatory considerations that come with them
Regulatory and compliance work within a financial services (AFSL) setting
Transactional and commercial contract work
Partnering closely with the broader business and building strong internal relationships

What we're looking for:




A qualified lawyer with broad corporate/commercial experience
Financial services and AFSL exposure
Comfortable operating across both legal and compliance matters
Adaptable and pragmatic, with the confidence to work autonomously
Open on level - we're keen to hear from both senior and mid-level candidates

What's on offer:
A collaborative, supportive team and a business genuinely investing in its people and technology
Flexible working, with just one day per week in the office
Flexibility on hours and how they're structured
A strong pathway to a permanent role
Competitive remuneration

This would suit someone returning to work or looking for a role that offers genuine flexibility alongside compelling, wide-ranging work.
