About this Role
Are you a Senior Corporate Lawyer feeling capped by a traditional firm structure? Join Australia’s largest legal partnership in a role that prioritizes contribution over tenure.
Working within a high-profile Corporate and Investment Funds team, you will move beyond simple execution into a leadership phase. You will take significant ownership of matters, manage key client relationships directly, and mentor a high-performing pool of junior talent.
You will be at the coalface of complex commercial projects, including:
M&A: End-to-end management of sale and purchase agreements, due diligence, and structuring across diverse industries.
Investment Funds: Establishing and managing investment schemes, trusts, and stapled structures.
Joint Ventures: Negotiating complex JV frameworks and governance for major projects.
Corporate Advisory: Strategic advice on capital raisings, ASX Listing Rules, and board-level governance.
True Meritocracy: We operate a unique model where your career trajectory is determined by your performance. 180-day career forecasting sessions ensure your path to Partnership is transparent and fast-tracked.
Direct Access: Work 1:1 with Chambers-ranked Partners on strategic transactional work—no "layers" of management between you and the lead Partner.
Better Balance: While we handle "Top-Tier" caliber work, our typical hours are 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM, significantly better than the global firm average.
Market-Leading Benefits: 26 weeks of paid parental leave, performance-based bonus structures tied to PQE and billables, and a vibrant social culture (sports clubs, firm-wide networking).
We are looking for a technically gifted and commercially minded lawyer who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
Experience: Minimum 5 years Post Qualified Experience (PQE) within a reputable mid or top-tier firm.
Technical Focus: A strong background in Corporate Law with specific exposure to Investment Funds and Joint Ventures.
Soft Skills: Proven ability to delegate to and mentor junior staff, coupled with the confidence to be a primary point of contact for sophisticated clients.
Drive: An interest in business development; a client following is highly regarded but not essential.
$175k+ Package with a structured, transparent bonus scheme.
2 days WFH per week.
State-of-the-art Sydney CBD office with premium end-of-trip facilities.
Generous leave including purchased leave and performance reward leave.
