Ready to take your P&E; practice further?
The early years of your career matter.
The right matters, the right clients and the right people around you can make a significant difference to the lawyer you become.
We're working with a
leading national firm
who are ready to welcome a Lawyer or Associate to its established Planning & Environment practice.
This is a particularly exciting opportunity for a P&E; lawyer who wants to build genuine breadth in their practice.
The team acts predominantly for
high-end developers and large land-owning clients
, while also maintaining long-standing relationships with a number of Council clients.
Rather than being confined to one side of the practice, you'll work across a healthy mix of
advisory and litigation matters
, giving you exposure to the full life cycle of planning and development issues.
The Opportunity
You'll work closely with the team, including the Partner and experienced senior lawyers who have built their careers in Planning & Workplace law.
The team has a strong and consistent pipeline of work across major residential, retail, commercial, industrial and agricultural projects, with matters spanning:
Planning and development approvals
Property development and land use
Planning and Environment Court litigation
Environmental and regulatory advice
Planning scheme amendments and approvals
Infrastructure charging
Environmental compliance and enforcement
Compulsory acquisition and land access
State and Federal project approvals
There is also a genuine client-facing element to the role.
As you develop, you'll have the opportunity to work directly with clients, become more involved in the strategic side of matters and take increasing ownership of your files.
About You
You will be a Lawyer or Associate with a minimum of
1 year PAE
,



gained within a Planning & Environment practice or in a role that has given you meaningful exposure to planning, development or environmental matters.
You'll likely be someone who:
Has a genuine interest in developing a long-term career in Planning & Environment law
Wants exposure to both advisory and contentious work
Enjoys working on complex development and regulatory matters
Communicates confidently with clients and other stakeholders
Takes ownership of their work and uses initiative
Values having experienced senior lawyers around them to learn from

You don't need to have worked across every area listed above.
A solid grounding in P&E; and the appetite to continue broadening your experience will be more important.
What's on Offer
This is an opportunity to join an established and well-regarded practice with the client base, workflow and senior expertise to properly develop your career.
You'll benefit from:
High-quality work for sophisticated developer, landowner and Council clients
Exposure across both advisory matters and litigation
Direct access to an experienced Partner and senior practitioners
Genuine client contact and increasing responsibility
The resources and opportunities that come with a leading national firm
Strong learning and professional development support
Clear scope to progress as your experience grows
Discounted health insurance and gym and studio memberships and a range of broader employee benefits

well-rounded practitioner rather than being pigeonholed into one narrow stream of work
, this is an excellent platform to do it.
Please note that only candidates with the necessary experience will be contacted.
