In-House Legal Counsel | Commercial Property & Leasing

Join a leading property owner and investment group and play a key role supporting a high-quality commercial and retail portfolio.

This is an opportunity for a commercially astute lawyer looking to move beyond private practice or further develop their in-house career within a fast-paced property environment.

Your focus will include:

- Drafting, negotiating and reviewing commercial and retail leases

- Reviewing supplier, contractor and service agreements
- Providing legal support to property, finance, facilities and executive teams
- Managing legal compliance and governance requirements
- Coordinating external legal advisers where required
- Assisting with disputes, risk management and legal projects across the portfolio

To be successful, you will have:





- Current unrestricted NSW Practising Certificate (essential)
- Approximately 5–6 years' experience in commercial property and leasing law
- Strong exposure to commercial and/or retail leasing transactions
- Experience gained within a property owner, landlord-side, real estate, property management or in-house environment
- Working knowledge of PEXA
- Solid commercial judgement and stakeholder management skills
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to work autonomously

Why This Opportunity?

- High-profile commercial and retail property portfolio
- Genuine in-house role with broad commercial exposure
- Direct access to senior decision makers
- Chance to influence business outcomes, not just provide legal advice
- Stable and growing property platform
- Sydney CBD offices
- Full-time office-based role (5 days per week)

If you're looking for a role where you can combine strong leasing expertise with commercial influence and become an integral part of a successful property business, we'd love to hear from you.
