Job description

Associate or Senior Associate | Commercial Property

Built a strong foundation in Property Law and ready for more sophisticated work, bigger clients and greater responsibility?
We're working with an exceptional Australian-owned commercial law firm, looking to add an experienced Associate or Senior Associate to its growing Brisbane Property practice.

This opportunity will suit a Property Lawyer at either the Associate or Senior Associate level (4+ years' PAE) who wants to broaden their experience across significant commercial property transactions and development work, while working closely with award-winning Partners who are experts in their field.

The Opportunity
You'll join an established national property practice advising a sophisticated mix of property investors, developers, institutional clients and major property owners. Rather than being confined to one narrow stream of property work, you'll gain exposure across a broad range of matters, including:

• Property investment and portfolio matters
• Significant acquisitions and disposals
• Commercial and residential development projects
• Complex commercial leasing
• Development and property management arrangements
• Joint venture and co-ownership arrangements
• Broader commercial agreements connected with major property projects

Depending on your level, you'll have the opportunity to run transactions, work directly with clients and take genuine ownership of matters, while still having access to experienced senior practitioners when you need them.

About You
You'll have at least 4 years' PAE in Property Law, ideally gained within a recognised commercial property practice.
You'll bring strong drafting and technical skills, commercial judgement and experience managing property matters with increasing autonomy.
You may already be operating at Senior Associate level, or you could be an established Associate who has reached the point where you're ready for greater complexity, client exposure and a clearer pathway forward.

Why Consider the Move?
This is a strong opportunity for a Property Lawyer who wants to keep progressing without having to sacrifice flexibility or culture to access top-quality work. You'll benefit from:

• High-quality institutional, investment and development clients
• Direct access to Partners who are experts in their field
• Increased autonomy and client responsibility
• National resources and cross-office opportunities
• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
• Excellent learning & professional development programs
• Flexible leave and wellbeing initiatives
• A supportive and collaborative team environment
