About Gallery Group
Gallery Group is more than a property and construction business, we are a fully integrated platform shaping some of Queensland’s most considered and high-performing residential communities. From land acquisition through to development, construction, sales and long-term property management, we operate with precision, pace and commercial discipline.
Our projects are designed to endure, delivering not just strong financial outcomes, but places people genuinely want to live. Behind this is a team that values sharp thinking, accountability and a constant drive to do things better.
About the Opportunity
This is not a traditional in-house role. As Senior Legal Counsel, you will sit at the centre of the business, embedded in decision-making, influencing strategy, and acting as a trusted advisor to senior leadership. You will play a pivotal role in unlocking complex development opportunities while protecting and enhancing commercial outcomes. Your remit spans the full lifecycle of our projects, giving you direct exposure to high-value transactions, sophisticated structuring, and the practical realities of delivering large-scale developments.
What You’ll Be Doing
You will operate as a true business partner, providing clear, commercially grounded legal guidance across:
- Structuring, drafting and negotiating complex development, construction and commercial agreements, including put and call option arrangements
- Advising on acquisitions, project delivery and risk allocation strategies
- Navigating regulatory frameworks, including QBCC and SDA requirements
- Managing disputes strategically, including engagement with external counsel where required
- Supporting broader corporate matters, employment, IP, governance and internal frameworks
- Collaborating closely with Development, Construction, Sales and Real Estate leaders to drive outcomes, not just mitigate risk
About You
You are an experienced legal professional who enjoys being close to the action and influencing outcomes, not sitting on the sidelines.
- 6+ years’ PAE in commercial, property or construction law
- Admitted to practice in Australia with a current practicing certificate
- Highly capable in contract negotiation, with a pragmatic and solutions-focused approach
- Strong commercial acumen with the confidence to advise senior stakeholders
- Experience in property development or construction environments is highly regarded
- Clear communicator who can distil complexity into actionable advice
Why This Role
This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior, high-impact legal role within a business that values legal as a strategic function, not a support service.
- Direct influence on significant, multi-stage development projects
- Broad scope across legal, commercial and operational matters
- Close access to decision-makers and leadership
- A fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where your input shapes outcomes
