Legal Advisor

Legal Advisors are qualified professionals who are employed by corporate organisations and government agencies to provide internal legal advice. They review legislation, prepare contracts and legal documents, and provide expert advice and guidance to company executives and key managers.

As a Legal Advisor you could be overseeing client and vendor contracts, investigating a possible breach of cultural heritage law, drafting a contract for the sale of commercial property, advising the Board of Directors on matters of corporate governance, guiding the executive team through a corporate merger, reviewing the legalities of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), or just staying up-to-date on changes to industrial laws.

To be successful in this career you’ll need exceptional attention to detail and the ability to explain complex legal matters clearly and succinctly.
