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.
