About the Team
The team brings a genuinely multi-disciplinary approach, combining legal expertise with backgrounds in construction, project management and property development,

Construction, commercial and property development matters, working directly with the Director
Construction disputes and planning-related matters
Commercial property matters across a broad client base
Day-to-day file carriage with genuine autonomy and direct mentorship
What You'll Bring

Admission as an Australian Lawyer with a current unrestricted practising certificate
Genuine interest in construction, property development and planning law
Comfortable working autonomously within a close-knit, non-corporate team
Motivated by quality of work rather than billable targets
