AGS Commercial welcomes applications from Indigenous commercial lawyers with deep technical legal expertise and excellent client relationship skills to join the Australian Government's central legal practice. Roles with AGS Commercial offer long term career options with open door access to some of Australia's most respected lawyers, and market leading transactions across a range of areas of corporate and commercial law. We are particularly interested to hear from Indigenous candidates with experience advising on Commonwealth procurement processes, corporate insolvency, construction and/or major projects.

About us

Australian Government Solicitor (AGS) is the Australian Government's central legal practice and part of the Attorney-General's Department. AGS helps Commonwealth clients to manage legal issues, navigate new challenges and find solutions which deliver the best outcomes for Australia. We are a self-funded legal practice and compete for our work.

AGS is unique. AGS is dedicated to the national interest and is a trusted advisor to Government.

AGS is innovative. Drawing on an exceptional depth of experience and expertise, we assist the Australian Government in the development and implementation of solutions to legal issues that have national importance.

AGS is diverse. With offices in every capital city and a team of 715 staff, including 500 lawyers, we work in more than 40 different areas of law related to government.

About the role

Our commercial lawyers work with Commonwealth agencies across all areas of commercial practice. We act as lead legal adviser for our clients on many of the Australian Government's largest projects and commercial transactions. Our work is focused on policies and programs that are of national importance, including:

  • some of Australia's largest energy and infrastructure projects
  • complex contracting arrangements, including the acquisition of goods and services to support Australia's national security and defence forces
  • cutting edge information technology transactions and projects.

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercial lawyer wanting to build the next phase of their legal career advising the Commonwealth of Australia on its most important projects. AGS's Commercial practice has over 80 lawyers around Australia. Our employment offering is distinct from private law firm roles, corporate in-house roles and other government legal roles. It offers a unique hybrid culture of market leading legal expertise, dedicated client service, affinity with our clients, involvement in matters of national significance and the opportunity for public service, as well as a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion.

In this role you will:

  • contribute to the Commonwealth's most important, high‑profile and complex national transactions, programs and reforms
  • be part of a supportive, collegiate and high performing national legal practice
  • provide a high standard of client service and maintain strong client relationships; and
  • work as one of the Australian Government's most trusted legal advisors.

About you

The successful candidates will ideally have:

  • a minimum of 8 years post admission experience
  • excellent technical legal skills, relevant experience in high value and/or precedential transactions and strong academic results
  • the ability to initiate, build and maintain strong client relationships
  • the ability to manage multiple client relationships and deadlines
  • the ability to meet personal productivity/revenue targets
  • the ability to develop and mentor junior lawyers
  • the ability to work under pressure, excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to persuade.

You will work with a community of professionals dedicated to the national interest. You will work collaboratively in an inclusive environment where everyone's contribution is valued, and success is rewarded. We offer our lawyers commercially competitive remuneration packages, including 15.4% superannuation.

AGS is a supportive organisation which embraces diversity and takes pride in actively creating a culturally safe, inclusive and caring environment. We understand that work is only part of your life and while our workplace can be demanding at times, we also provide access to a range of flexible working options, generous leave entitlements (including paid Cultural, First Nations ceremonial and NAIDOC leave) and wellbeing benefits to support your needs throughout your career.

As part of AGD, all AGS management staff undergo mandatory Indigenous Cultural Awareness training so to ensure we create and maintain a culturally safe environment. When you work with us, you become part of a diverse and inclusive community where people are respected, supported and encouraged to be their authentic selves.
