Our client is a preeminent commercial law firm with a nationally recognised and award-winning reputation for excellence in the mining, energy and resources sectors.

The successful candidate will join the firm’s existing industry-leading Partners from top-tier backgrounds and become an integral part of a highly successful and driven team which has a reputation for completing some of the most complex and interesting matters for major private and ASX-listed clients within the energy, resources, mining and infrastructure sectors. You will join a collaborative and commercially focused team that advises on:

• Commercial contracts for mining, oil and gas, energy and infrastructure projects

• Sales and acquisitions of tenements, projects, and resources companies

• Joint ventures (exploration, farming, mining) and mining services contracting

• Commercial contracts involving construction, production, processing, and offtake agreements

• Expansion and development projects including approvals, tenure, land access, and EPC contracts

• Infrastructure and logistics including port services, rail haulage, and remote site energy procurement

• Regulatory compliance, licensing, and competition law matters

We are interested in speaking to experienced Partners, Special Counsel and Senior Associates with deep expertise in mining, energy, and resources matters and the ability to bring across some form of transportable fee base or client network, in the vicinity of $200,000 – $500,000+.

You will have demonstrated strong commercial acumen, a proven ability to build trusted client relationships, and the desire to contribute to a high-performing, collegiate team with a strong market reputation.
