About the NSW Crime Commission: The NSW Crime Commission is established to investigate and disrupt organised crime and other serious criminal activity and to pursue confiscation of the proceeds of crime. The Commission is structured into a number of sections consisting of operational divisions, support teams and specialist units.

The Commission's Legal Services Division exercises independent professionalism at all times and provides legal services (including legal advice, litigation services, and transactional legal work) to the Commission. Significant aspects of the work include:  conducting litigation; supporting the Commission's criminal and financial investigations, advising on legal compliance; and preparing and making applications for  statutory warrants on behalf of the Commission. 

About the role: Senior lawyers are responsible for managing and coordinating complex legal activities across (as applicable) criminal investigations, financial investigations, and/or coercive examinations and investigations to ensure that the Commission complies with all relevant legislation, policies, and procedures. The role provides high-quality, cost-effective, and independent legal advice and services to support the Commission's functions and optimize the resolution of legal matters. The role may also assume the role of solicitor on record for the Commission. As a senior lawyer, you will manage, coordinate, and support a legal practice team to deliver business partnerships to operational divisions and teams, focused on providing timely professional legal advice and support to enable the achievement of Commission strategic outcomes. If you are an experienced lawyer looking for an opportunity to take the next step to lead, mentor, and develop your own legal team, this may be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Security Vetting: The recommended candidates must be willing to participate in and secure appropriate security clearances by providing comprehensive details about their personal and financial interests and other relevant information about themselves, their families, and their associates. It is a condition of employment at the Commission that a member of staff obtain and maintain a security clearance issued by the Commissioner and a security clearance issued by the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency that the Commissioner determines is necessary for that position.

NOTE: Never make payment to any employer, person, company, contractor or agency to get hired for a Job.
