As we continue our growth journey in Australia and the APAC region, we are looking to speak with high‑quality lawyers in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) space to join our Melbourne office. This is a broad and flexible role offering exposure to a wide range of technology‑driven commercial work, spanning advisory, transactional and strategic matters for sophisticated clients across both regulated and non‑regulated sectors.
The role will involve advising on a variety of commercial technology and IP‑led matters, including complex services agreements, outsourcing and managed services arrangements, cloud and platform agreements, and AI‑related deals. You will also work on IP ownership, licensing and commercialisation matters, supporting clients to commercialise technology, data and other intangible assets, including in collaborative, joint venture and innovation‑driven environments. Alongside this, there will be opportunities to advise on complex business change and transformation projects where regulatory frameworks, operational considerations and risk allocation are key, with particular exposure to sectors such as energy, utilities and other critical infrastructure.
At Pinsent Masons we do things a bit differently, and look for high-performers who are not afraid to try new things and question the status quo. As well as excellent technical skills, we need an individual who is commercially aware, a strong team ethic and with a strong client focused approach. There are also huge opportunities for personal and professional development for applicants who also have an enthusiasm for business development.
You will need to have the following skills and attributes:

In return, we provide an environment where our lawyers can drive their development, work flexibly and learn fast.
