About the team
Deloitte Legal is a fast-growing Australian incorporated legal practice with offices in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.

Today’s corporate General Counsel faces multiple challenges: a heightened regulatory environment, mass globalisation of business and acceleration of technology advancements. This is resulting in increased complexity and demand from the business, in turn creating an unsustainable workload for existing in-house legal and contracting teams. The current business landscape creates a compelling reason for legal departments to rethink their operating model, achieve greater efficiencies and increase the value they deliver back to the business.

 

Deloitte Legal’s Legal Management Consulting and Legal Managed Services practices help inhouse legal teams transform through optimising their operating model, leveraging the power of technology and AI, and augmenting capabilities through effective and efficient managed service offerings.

 

Deloitte Legal more broadly provides a growing portfolio of legal services as diverse as our clients, including corporate legal work, foreign investment advisory and applications, employment, digital, intellectual property, climate and trust law, transactional services, the preparation and review of legal documentation, Federal and State tax and stamp duty advisory and dispute resolution, corporate reorganisations and more.

As part of a global network, we have access to more than 2,500 legal practitioners who operate in more than 80 countries. We work closely with other businesses within Deloitte in Australia and globally to deliver holistic business solutions to our clients and to make an impact that matters!

 

If you’re looking for a team that’s driven, supportive and will invest in your career – Deloitte Legal is the place for you.
