If you are looking for a values-based, emergency service organisation that puts the community at the centre of everything we do, we are proud of the work we do in protecting lives and property, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
With over 51,000 volunteers, CFA strives to be an organisation of choice for volunteers and employees, embracing individuals with diverse skills, experiences, and backgrounds.
About the Role Are you seeking an ongoing, in-house counsel role within a supportive, collaborative and highly skilled Legal services team?
This busy role will see you provide legal advice and services across a broad range of legal disciplines and experience a varied and dynamic workload.
Reporting to the General Counsel and working closely with other members of the legal team, the primary focus of the role is to provide commercially astute legal advice to the CFA business.
This work is corporate in nature and includes advising and the involvement in negotiations for a wide range of commercial and inter-governmental matters including MOUs, agreements and contracts, and providing support to the Strategic Services department including Procurement and Finance.
The Legal Counsel role will have responsibility for the management of their own files and work will also extend beyond commercial and contracts work to include property licences and leases, litigation claims, and administrative law including the CFA Act and Regulations, and delegations amongst other legal disciplines.
It will also be necessary to provide advice as to legal risk associated with CFA's activities.
There will be work with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders, other contracting parties, as well as work with external lawyers.
About You: The person we are looking for will be admitted to practice as an Australian lawyer and have possession of an unrestricted Victorian practising certificate.
In addition, you will have demonstrated experience in the application of legal principles to commercial law and a wide range of issues across various legal disciplines, with a focus on contracts.
Naturally, you will be customer-centric and have exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to work collaboratively, building productive working relationships with stakeholders to achieve strategic objectives.
Further to this, you will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of managing multiple files, drafting, reviewing, advising, and negotiating complex agreements and MOUs, writing high quality, well-researched, and concise advices, reports, briefs, and correspondence.
Crucial to your success in this role will be your proven experience in providing contractual, commercial, and strategic legal advice including the interpretation and application of legislation in relation to matters arising within a large and complex environment.
This may be the next step in your career if you are keen to further develop your generalist experience within a fast-paced, rapidly changing, complex emergency service organisation where the work you do has a direct impact on helping the broader CFA and the Victorian community and enables you to be a part of a team who live and breathe the CFA values.
