A leading global law firm is seeking a Solicitor or Senior Associate to join its market-leading Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT), Data and IP Transactions team in Melbourne. The team is one of the largest and most successful stand-alone TMT, Data and IP practices in the Australian market and forms a critical part of the firm's global practice.

Operating with a 'one team' mindset, lawyers work across the Melbourne team and routinely as part of integrated project teams with colleagues around Australia and across APAC, the UK, Europe and the USA. The Melbourne team frequently leads global projects and manages client relationships, making this a Melbourne-based global technology transactions practice.

The practice spans the full spectrum of technology and data transactions, digital transformations, digital infrastructure, outsourcing (tech and business process), IP commercialisation, data (commercialisation, advisory and governance), privacy, cyber and information security, AI and emerging technologies, and strategic sourcing. While not the primary focus, the team also supports M&A colleagues on technology, IP, cyber, privacy and data separation aspects of acquisitions and divestments.

The practice is 'customer centric', generally representing leading Australian, regional and global corporations rather than technology or software vendors. It services clients across all sectors, with particular focus on global mining & resources, energy, financial services, telecommunications and consumer sectors.

Admission to practice as a lawyer in Australia or New Zealand.
A minimum of 3 years' experience in a leading private practice firm or in-house legal team.
Demonstrated experience in at-scale technology transactions, technology transformations, digital infrastructure, outsourcing, strategic sourcing, data commercialisation, privacy, the commercialisation of IP, and/or telecommunications transactions.
Expert at drafting and negotiating transactions documents in these areas.
Excellent drafting, analytical and negotiation skills, with strong attention to detail.
A collaborative, commercial and pragmatic approach to legal problem-solving, with the ability to communicate complex advice clearly.
An innovative mindset, curious about AI and emerging technologies.
A genuine interest in sharing expertise to help develop others and fostering an inclusive culture.
A deep interest in clients and commitment to always providing an excellent client experience.
