This is a great opportunity for a Senior Associate Construction Lawyer (front-end) to take on a key leadership role in the Melbourne team of a tier-one national Construction practice, led by highly regarded Partners recognised in Chambers APAC, Legal 500, and Best Lawyers.
This is quite a unique role, as you’ll be the most senior front-end Construction Lawyer in Melbourne. You’ll work alongside a highly respected Special Counsel with deep expertise in major construction disputes and be supported by a team of Associates working across both front-end and back-end matters. The Partners in Sydney and Brisbane are actively involved in the Melbourne market and travel here regularly, giving you the support of a well-resourced national team — but with room to step up and lead locally.
We are looking for someone to play a pivotal role in shaping the practice in Victoria while working on some of the country’s most significant infrastructure and energy projects. You’ll have a leading role in managing key client relationships in Victoria, acting as the primary local advisor on front-end matters, and be first in line for Partnership as the team continues to grow.
Another point of difference compared to other major Construction practices is that here you’ll be advising on projects across the entire country. This national scope brings variety, challenge, and a broader strategic perspective to your work.
You’ll advise on all aspects of procurement and delivery for major capital works — including PPP, EPC, D&C;, and O&M; arrangements, alliance contracting,
and consultancy agreements. The work is technically demanding and commercially sophisticated, often involving cross-border investment, joint ventures, and complex risk allocations.
The firm has a strong global reputation in infrastructure and energy, and there is a strong pipeline of multi-jurisdictional cross-border projects. You’ll also benefit from hybrid working, transparent bonus structures, and a clear, merit-based approach to progression.
This role would suit a Senior Associate with strong experience in major energy and infrastructure construction — ideally including PPP or government-led projects — who’s ready to take on a leadership role with a transparent path to Partnership.
