Growthpoint Properties is looking for a commercially minded Legal Counsel to join its collaborative legal team. This is a broad and genuinely interesting in-house role, offering exposure across capital transactions, funds management, corporate and commercial matters, finance and treasury, projects, sustainability and disputes. You'll work closely with teams across the business, providing practical legal advice and helping navigate opportunities, transactions and risk.
The opportunity
Reporting to the Managing Legal Counsel, you'll become a trusted adviser to stakeholders across Growthpoint. The breadth of the role means no two weeks will necessarily look the same. You could be advising on an acquisition or divestment, negotiating an investment management document, reviewing a SaaS agreement, supporting a financing transaction or working alongside the business on a new project.
Your work will include
supporting M&A;, acquisitions, divestments, joint ventures and other investment opportunities, including the corporate aspects of property transactions
advising on funds management, including trust and investment management documentation, fundraising materials and general fund matters
drafting and negotiating a wide range of commercial agreements, from confidentiality deeds and consulting agreements to SaaS, agency and supply agreements
supporting corporate governance, policies and ASX reporting
reviewing and negotiating finance and debt facility documentation
advising on projects and sustainability-related agreements
working with internal stakeholders and external advisers on disputes, litigation and insolvency matters
keeping the business informed about relevant legal and regulatory developments.
What will make you successful




You'll be an admitted lawyer with around 4 to 8 years' post-qualification experience, ideally bringing corporate and commercial experience relevant to an ASX-listed, real estate, investment and funds management environment.
More importantly, you'll bring a commercial mindset. You'll enjoy getting to know the business behind the legal question, building trusted relationships and finding pragmatic solutions rather than simply identifying risk.
You're likely to thrive here if you
are confident working independently while genuinely enjoying being part of a team
can negotiate effectively and communicate complex issues clearly
build strong relationships with stakeholders and anticipate what they need
balance commercial priorities with sound legal judgement
have excellent attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture
are comfortable managing competing priorities and business timelines
are curious about how technology, including AI tools, can improve the way legal work gets done.
Why Growthpoint?
This is an opportunity to move beyond being a legal adviser on the sidelines and become part of the commercial conversation.
You'll join a business where the legal team works closely with its internal clients, where you'll have exposure to significant and varied matters, and where initiative, collaboration and positive judgement are valued.
Growthpoint is looking for someone who combines technical capability with curiosity, commerciality and robust interpersonal skills, and who wants to contribute to a high performing culture built around respect, teamwork and integrity
Interested?
If you're looking for a broad commercial legal role where you can work closely with the business, play a key role in meaningful transactions and continue developing as an in-house lawyer, we'd love to hear from you.
