The Opportunity

We’re seeking a Senior Legal Counsel – Corporate, Commercial & Disputes to join our Legal team in a key advisory role supporting complex corporate, commercial and contentious matters across the business. This is a broad, high-impact role where you’ll operate as a trusted legal partner to senior stakeholders, helping navigate commercial risk in a highly regulated environment.

Reporting to the General Counsel – Wagering & Corporate, you’ll provide pragmatic, commercially grounded advice across transactions and disputes, manage matters end-to-end with external counsel, and support the business to make well-informed decisions in fast-moving and often high-stakes contexts.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the drafting, review and negotiation of complex commercial and corporate agreements
  • Provide legal advice across corporate, commercial and regulatory matters
  • Own the management of disputes and contentious matters, including strategy, instructions and oversight of external counsel
  • Assess and manage legal risk, balancing regulatory obligations with commercial objectives
  • Support the business on contractual issues, complaints and disputes
  • Partner closely with senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver timely, high-quality legal outcomes
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of legal processes, templates and ways of working

About You

You’re a commercially minded senior lawyer who’s comfortable operating with autonomy in a regulated, fast-paced environment. You bring strong judgement, a pragmatic approach to risk, and the confidence to advise senior stakeholders on complex and sometimes ambiguous issues.

You bring:

  • Strong post-admission experience in corporate and commercial law (in-house and/or top-tier or mid-tier private practice)
  • Solid experience managing disputes and contentious matters end-to-end
  • Proven ability to lead matters independently and manage external counsel
  • Strong commercial acumen and practical risk judgement
  • Clear, confident communication and strong stakeholder engagement skills
  • Experience working in, or advising, regulated industries (highly regarded)

Why Tabcorp?

You’ll play a meaningful role in shaping commercial outcomes across wagering, media and major partnerships, working at the centre of complex regulatory and commercial decision-making. You’ll join a high-calibre, down-to-earth Legal team that values practical advice, strong relationships and genuine impact.
