    Description

    The Opportunity

    Ashurst has one of the largest and oldest dedicated environmental and planning law practices in Australia. We are consistently viewed by clients as trusted advisors and market leaders. For instance, we have been ranked by Chambers Asia-Pacific as a Band 1 firm in this area for over a decade.

    Ashurst advises on all aspects of environmental law, ranging from obtaining approvals and consents, responding to high profile environmental incidents, defending legal challenges to planning approvals, environmental compliance obligations, compulsory acquisition and land access litigation and regulatory reviews to assisting clients to respond to the changing regulatory environment relating to climate change.

    The Environment & Planning Team in Sydney is growing and looking for mid-level environment and planning lawyers who are keen to join one of Australia's leading practices and work on the full range of Environment & Planning matters, both front and back end.

    The role will work closely with the broader Environment & Planning and Projects teams nationally on a range of market leading work while receiving guidance and mentorship from experienced and friendly Partners and Senior Associates.

  • An industry-leading programme that celebrates diversity and inclusion.
  • We are committed to delivering positive impacts to our communities through our Social Impact programme, with a strong emphasis on working with First Nations people through our pro bono practice.

    We aim to recruit, retain and promote the best people from the widest possible talent pools. We are committed to offering a safe and welcoming environment for all employees to ensure they are supported to work at their best.

    Beyond this, what sets Ashurst apart from others is our global strength, our drive to innovate and collaborate, and our commitment to excellence. It is these values that make Ashurst a unique place to work.
