MinterEllison Flex - Senior Legal Counsel
At MinterEllison, we have spent nearly 200 years building something exceptional — a firm defined not just by its legal expertise, but by its people. High-performing, collaborative, and driven by curiosity and strategic thinking, our teams set the standard across Australia's most complex and consequential matters.
In 2015, MinterEllison Flex did something no Australian firm had done before — it gave senior lawyers the freedom to choose. Choose their clients. Choose their projects. Choose their working style. Ten years later, we remain the benchmark for flexible legal work in Australia, and the model others have tried to follow.
MinterEllison Flex extends that culture to you, on your terms. As a Flex lawyer, you stay connected to a firm with the depth, the network, and the reputation to elevate your career — while working in a way that is entirely your own.
If you are a senior legal professional who refuses to choose between doing great work and living a great life, you are exactly who we are looking for.
Take the next step. Join MinterEllison Flex.
