- Supporting the development of primary and secondary legislation
- Drafting legal advice, briefings and submissions
- Managing legal risk on sensitive and high-profile matters
- Working closely with policy and litigation colleagues across government

We're keen to hear from qualified lawyers who can demonstrate:
- Strong public law knowledge
- Excellent legal judgement and analytical skills
- Experience providing legal advice in a professional environment
