    About us

    The Law Society of NSW is the voice of the legal profession and represents the interests of more than 37,000 members across the state.

    As part of this mission, our Policy and Practice Department initiates and shapes debate about law reform and the administration of justice in NSW by working closely with 18 specialist policy committees.

    Building skills and knowledge outside your existing areas of expertise.

    We encourage our Policy Lawyers to apply their policy skills to a range of law reform areas, while further developing their core professional competencies.

    Working closely with a number of specialist policy committees.

    This will include liaising with practitioners, Law Society staff and external bodies, and ensuring the timely completion and distribution of agendas, minutes, submissions, correspondence and reports.

    About you

    You will need to possess legal qualifications, hold or be eligible to hold a practising certificate and be able to demonstrate substantial experience in policy development and advice, including developing and drafting submissions.

    In addition, you will require excellent written and oral communication skills, demonstrated ability to exercise strategic judgment, strong interpersonal skills, strong organisational and time management skills and ability to work constructively as a team member.

    To apply

    The Law Society of New South Wales is committed to building and maintaining a respectful and inclusive workplace, appointing the best person for the role and supporting diversity.
