With a global team of over 600 lawyers and consultants working across our secondments, legal advisory services, and legal operations & tech solutions, we want you to be a part of our exciting journey!
An opportunity exists for a commercial lawyer to join us in a full-time permanent role.
We have a strong pipeline of interesting and career-enhancing assignments across various sectors (including IT, FMCG, construction, property, financial services, insurance etc). With us, you'll be encouraged to think commercially and strategically to assist our clients in more than just a 'black letter' way.
No assignment or day is ever the same when you work with LOD. As a permanent member of our team, you’ll regularly be out on assignment with our global clients, or at times working from our HQ offices on specific client matters, or you could be doing a mix of both at the same time. We'll work with you to map-out the direction you want your career to go in and support you with the type of work you want to be doing.
Who are we looking for?
To join us, you’ll:
- Have between 2-6 years PQE gained from top or mid-tier law firms or in-house with strong legal training
- Be experienced in commercial or corporate law
- Hold a current Australian Practising Certificate
- Be client centric - commercially minded, adaptable and able to hit the ground running
- Enjoy partnering with businesses and managing stakeholder relationships
What sets us apart?
People join us for a range of reasons - the life of an LOD lawyer is like no other.
- CV-enhancing work with global brands: We provide our people with varied, challenging, career-enhancing work with global brands, allowing them to take control of their career and diversify their experience across a range of industries.
- 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.
- We’re an Employer of Choice: for the fourth 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 in 2022 of 81 which is recognised as “ground-breaking”.
- You’re never on your own: Throughout your LOD career, you’ll be part of a community – our HQ team and be supported by your fellow LOD Legal team colleagues. You’ll 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.
