About the opportunity:
PQE Partners are exclusively partnering with an in-house client looking to hire a Senior Legal Counsel. This role will be providing expert advice and guidance across various operational areas, including complex government procurement, IT contracting, litigation and privacy matters. You'll collaborate closely with internal stakeholders to negotiate contracts, assess risks, and ensure compliance with legal requirements.
This role would suit an experienced lawyer who is familiar with Commonwealth Procurement Rules, who is looking for interesting and complex work in a high performing team.
Key responsibilities:
* Offer expert legal advice on general commercial, government procurement, and IT contracts
* Lead negotiation and review of contracts and service level agreements
* Identify and mitigate legal risks related to contracts and privacy
* Develop policies and precedents aligned with legal requirements
* Provide guidance on regulatory and accountability obligations
* Conduct training programs to enhance legal compliance awareness
* Monitor changes in laws and regulations affecting IT, procurement, and privacy
About you:
You'll have at least 7 years of post-qualification experience in general commercial law, and it is essential you have government procurement experience. It's a very broad role, so you need to be agile and comfortable getting stuck into things you might not have done before.
What's on offer:
* Unique work, varied and complex matters
* Join a high performing team of strong technical lawyers
* Work with a GC who drives a nurturing and collegiate culture, as well as being a team contributor
