Legal Counsel | 3 To 5 Years Pae | 3 Month Contract

Who we are

LOD (Lawyers On Demand) is one of the largest and fastest growing global legal services businesses, and as a ‘new law’ pioneer, we continue to lead the market we created.

We're a global business with offices around the world that focus on providing end-to-end solutions for our clients' legal needs by connecting them with our team of exceptional legal professionals. We provide secondment opportunities, legal advisory services, and legal operations & tech solutions. Together, we find new ways to supercharge the value that legal professionals and in-house legal teams deliver.

Who are we looking for?

We are currently interested in hearing from lawyers with commercial experience and 3 to 5 years PAE. You will join our LOD lawyer team in Brisbane and be seconded to one of our local government clients, where you'll assist with a range of matters including:

• advising on procurement contracts;
• reviewing and advising on a broad range of general commercial contracts and arrangements including funding and sponsorship agreements;
• advising on leasing and other property related matters;
• assisting with Planning appeals, litigation and disputes; and
• preparing written advice for internal stakeholders. 

You

In order to be suitable you’ll have:

• approx. 3 to 5 years PQE in the types of matters as set out above;
• an unrestricted practising certificate; and
• excellent communication skills and the ability to effectively interact and manage relationships with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels of seniority. 

As this opportunity is immediately available, you’ll also ideally be available to commence work on short notice.  

What sets us apart?

We offer an exciting alternative! 

• We’re an Employer of Choice: for the fifth year in a row, we’ve been recognised as an Employer of Choice by Australasian Lawyer. We’re even prouder that we’ve received an employee NPS score across Australia of 81 which is recognised as “ground-breaking”. 
• No limits: We’ve helped open doors, break glass ceilings, facilitate the transition from private practice to in-house, and develop career pathways to become a GC. Whatever direction you want to take your career, we can help you get there.
• You’re never on your own: Throughout your LOD career, you’ll become part of a community. You’ll be supported by your LOD colleagues and our HQ team, have access to mentoring programs and high quality know-how, LOD social events, and receive regular training to assist in your ongoing growth and development.
• Our Ways Of Working help shape who we are and what we do: we deliver, we are creative, we are inclusive, we care & collaborate, and we are trusted. 
• We’re global: LOD can provide you with local, interstate and international working opportunities. In late 2023, LOD joined forces with Consilio, the global leader in legal consulting and enterprise legal services. Together, LOD & Consilio have a team of approximately 10,000 lawyers, legal engineers, legal operations consultants, paralegals, and risk & compliance professionals spanning North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East.
