This is a great opportunity for an Associate Construction Lawyer (back-end/disputes) to join 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 firm is known for its international reach and commitment to professional growth. You’ll have access to secondment opportunities across the global network of offices, structured learning programs, and transparent progression pathways. You’ll also benefit from hybrid working, transparent bonus structures, and a clear, merit-based approach to progression.
