AGS is seeking Senior Lawyers who possess experience or strong interest in Administrative Law litigation.

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 over 500 lawyers, we work in more than 40 different areas of law related to government.

About the roles

The AGS Dispute Resolution practice (DR) is Australia's pre-eminent public law litigation practice. It has unrivalled experience and specialist expertise in providing dispute-related legal advice and representation in every jurisdiction in Australia, across a diverse range of legal matters for Commonwealth agencies, including a very significant practice representing the Commonwealth's regulatory enforcement agencies, administrative law, tax litigation, employment law, torts law and information access law. AGS acts for the Commonwealth in the full range of disputes to which it is a party or in which it has an interest (including access to sensitive information) and advises on investigations including for law enforcement and national security agencies. DR also represents the Commonwealth before inquests, inquiries and royal commissions, and as the solicitor assisting royal commissions. In addition, DR has a specialist in-house counsel practice, led by Tim Begbie KC.

In these roles you will:

  • work on sensitive Administrative Law litigation and/or information law matters for the Commonwealth
  • work on judicial review proceedings commenced in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and Federal Court of Australia under the Judiciary Act 1903, the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 and the Migration Act 1958
  • work on merits review proceedings in the Administrative Review Tribunal
  • supervise and mentor junior lawyers
  • provide a high standard of client service and maintain strong client relationships
  • be part of the AGS Dispute Resolution team.

About you

These roles will suit Dispute Resolution Senior Lawyers with experience or strong interest in Administrative Law litigation. The successful candidate will ideally have:

  • generally, at least 5 years' (EL1) or 7 years' (EL2) post-admission experience in the relevant field
  • experience in Administrative Law litigation and/or Information Law
  • understanding of Administrative Law and/or Information Law and the ability to clearly articulate technical arguments and draft advisory opinions
  • experience and/or interest in solicitor advocacy and/or client training
  • the ability to work under pressure, excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to persuade, think creatively and deliver innovative client-focused legal solutions.

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.

With open door access to some of Australia's most respected lawyers, we are a developer of talent and critical thinking and you will partner with our clients to deliver creative solutions to current and emerging legal issues of national importance.

AGS is a supportive organisation which embraces diversity. We understand that work is only part of your life and, while our work can be demanding at times, we also provide access to a range of flexible working options, including working from home arrangements, generous leave entitlements and wellbeing benefits to support your needs throughout your career.
