About this Role
Top-tier Quality Work | 6.75 Billable Target | Leading National Firm
Are you a Banking & Finance lawyer looking for the elusive "sweet spot" in the Melbourne market? Join a powerhouse team that combines the high-caliber transactions of a global firm with a down-to-earth culture and a genuine work-life balance.
We are seeking a Solicitor or Associate (2+ years PQE) to join our thriving Banking & Finance practice in the Melbourne CBD. Working directly with industry-leading Partners, you will play a key role in complex, high-value transactions for a blue-chip client base.
This isn't a role where you’ll be buried in the back room. With a lean Solicitor-to-Partner ratio, you will enjoy direct client contact and a platform to build your professional profile from day one.
Realistic Targets: A highly achievable 6.75 billable hour target, allowing you to deliver quality work without the burnout.
Hybrid Flexibility: Work from home 2 days per week.
Market-Leading Parental Leave: 26 weeks of paid leave.
Clear Bonus Structure: A transparent, tenure-linked bonus scheme based on your PQE level and hitting your billable targets.
Career Fast-Track: 180-day career planning sessions designed to promote talent based solely on merit.
You will advise the Big 4 domestic banks, credit funds, and major corporate borrowers on a diverse range of matters, including:
Property and Construction Finance
Bilateral, Club, and Syndicated Lending
Acquisition and Agri-Finance
Retirement and Aged Care Financing
We are looking for a collaborative, commercially-minded lawyer who is ready to take the next step in their career.
Experience: 2+ years PQE within a recognized Banking & Finance practice (Australian or NZ candidates highly encouraged).
Background: Experience in a mid-tier or top-tier law firm environment.
Skills: Exceptional drafting skills, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to manage transactions efficiently.
Mindset: An appetite to mentor juniors and a desire to work in a high-performing, friendly team culture.
Ready to elevate your career? If you are looking for a firm that values merit over "time in the chair," we want to hear from you.
