About the team
We are Australia's international trade remedies authority - the Anti-Dumping Commission.
The commission is responsible for undertaking investigations into allegations of unfair trade practices involving goods entering Australia and administering Australia's anti-dumping legislation.
These investigations seek to deliver a level playing field for industry.
Professionalism, excellence and independence underpins the commission's world-class reputation.
The commission is led by the Anti-Dumping Commissioner (Commissioner), who is an independent statutory office holder.
The commission is staffed by employees from the department made available to the Commissioner, including lawyers to provide specialist legal services.
There are three branches in the commission: Investigations, Strategy and Operations, and Legal.
The Legal Branch, led by the Executive Director, Legal (EDL), is a small specialist legal service team with expertise in administrative and trade remedies law.
Each of the two Principal Legal Counsel will have approximately two to four direct reports for management purposes.
In practice, we anticipate legal staff will work across the Legal Branch on work as required and determined by the EDL and Principal Legal Counsels.
The opportunity
The Principal Legal Counsel reports directly to Executive Director, Legal (EDL).
The EDL reports to the Commissioner and is accountable to the Chief Counsel of the Department of Industry, Science and Resources in respect of compliance with professional standards and the Legal Services Directions, and escalating matters of legal risk as appropriate.
PLCs will prepare legal advice and supervise team members delivering legal advice to the commission, most often directly to the Investigations Branch and the Strategic and Operations Branch teams to support good decision making by the Commissioner and promote best-practice regulation.
PLCs will participate in regular meetings with investigation case teams and the policy and practice section, and contribute to the commission's decision-making meetings.
PLCs also will manage ongoing case work arising from the Commission's input into judicial and merits reviews.
Day to day work will involve operational oversight of compliance with the Commissioner's legislative obligations under the Customs Act and other Acts.
PLCs will take the lead in building the team's legal skills in administrative and trade remedies law, expanding the team's knowledge of trade remedy settings in other jurisdictions, and training commission staff on learnings from reviews and WTO outcomes.
You will work closely with the department's legal area, external legal providers, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Anti-Dumping Review Panel (ADRP).

We are looking for motivated and skilled legal professionals who have:
5 years post-admission experience effective verbal communication skills and a strong client focus.
strong understanding of administrative law and statutory interpretation principles.
experience providing well-reasoned, evidence-based, written legal advice in a regulatory environment.
