About the Role

We’re looking for a Legal Counsel to support the next phase of growth at Search Property.

You’ll work closely with our executive and operational teams to manage legal risk, support commercial decision-making, and help shape the legal foundations of a fast-scaling, property-focused business. You’ll also liaise with property conveyancers and solicitors to ensure smooth transaction processes, and play a key role in streamlining and creating efficiencies in conveyancing.

What You’ll Be Doing

- Draft and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements (supplier, referral, service, partnership)
- Liaise with property conveyancers and solicitors to support property transactions
- Assist in reviewing and improving internal conveyancing processes to create efficiencies
- Advise on commercial strategy, corporate structure, and business operations
- Oversee compliance with licensing, privacy, consumer law, and other regulatory requirements
- Support leaders with legal input into business decisions and strategic initiatives
- Identify and manage legal risks across departments
- Assist with escalated commercial issues or disputes
- Work with counsel on complex or litigious matters
- Support internal governance, policies, and compliance processes

About You

- 3+ years practising experience, ideally in a general commercial or in property law/conveyancing




- Confident negotiating commercial contracts and advising internal stakeholders
- Sound knowledge of corporate, consumer, and privacy law
- Strong commercial judgement and ability to balance legal risk with business needs
- Experience in a regulated or client-facing environment preferred
- Exposure to the property sector or related industries (real estate, financial services, professional services) is a bonus
- Experience working with conveyancers or on property transactions will be highly regarded

Why You’ll Love It Here

We’re one of Australia’s fastest-growing companies, helping clients build real wealth through property, and we’re only getting started. We’re a team of driven, down-to-earth people who love what we do and want you to be part of it.

This hybrid role (3 days in our Macquarie Park office, 2 days from home) gives you the best of both worlds. Our office has everything you need; childcare, a gym, a great café, and top-notch end-of-trip facilities. Plus, we’re right by trains, buses, and motorways, with parking available too.

This is your chance to build a meaningful career in property, help real people change their lives, and be part of a team that’s doing work that matters. As Legal Counsel, you’ll be at the centre of a scaling national business, with direct access to decision-makers and a seat at the table when it comes to shaping how we grow.
